Abstract

The care of diabetic patients in peripheral medical centers in Burkina Faso faces many difficulties. This work, which is a new experience, aimed to set up an information system for the care of diabetic patients in the context of Burkina Faso. The system thus conceived consists of a web application (MedshakeEHR), used by the doctor and a mobile application (Glucosio) for the patient. The system has advantages such as remote appointment scheduling, appointment reminder, patient information sharing. The device also makes it possible to store data for the production of statistics and for scientific research. This experience has enabled us to meet certain challenges related in particular to the problem of HIS such as organizational constraints, the creation of a unique identifier, the modeling of the main business processes, etc.
