Abstract

As regards the dosage of drug, children are a much more vulnerable population than the adults. With this in mind it is extremely important the administration of the correct dosage. For this purpose, it was develop a framework, based on a prototype already tested in a real environment, with the main concern to help pediatricians in their daily tasks. Thus, this framework includes tools that can help in the preparation of Total Parenteral Nutrition prescriptions, table pediatric and neonatal emergency drugs, medical scales of morbidity and mortality, anthropometry percentiles (weight, length/height, head circumference and BMI), utilities for supporting medical decision on the treatment of neonatal jaundice and anemia and other calculators. This paper presents the architecture, their functionalities and a SWOT analysis of the solution proposed.
