Abstract
A large number of web-based e-Health applications have been developed through time, allowing doctors to access different types of functionalities, like knowing which medication the patient has consumed or performing online consultations. Internet systems for healthcare can be improved by using artificial intelligence mechanisms for the process of detecting diseases and obtaining biological data, allowing medical professionals to have important information that facilitates the diagnosis process and the choice of the correct treatment for each particular person. The proposed research work aims to present an innovative approach when compared to traditional platforms, by providing online vital signs in real time and allowing the visualization of all historical data of a patient. It aims to defend the concept of promoting online consultations, providing complementary functionalities to the traditional methods for performing medical diagnoses through the use of software engineering practices. This investigation led to the conclusion that, in the future, many medical processes will most likely be done online, where this practice is considered extremely helpful for the analysis and treatment of contagious diseases, or cases that require constant monitoring.
