Plataforma de Software Web Basada en Telemedicina como Apoyo a la Fundación Casa de la Mujer de Boyacá, para la Gestión de la Información sobre el Maltrato de Género

Abstract

In the department of Boyacá, during the last quarters of 2017, 2018 and 2019, a total of 57 notifications of cases of mistreatment of women per week have been reported (Plan de Desarrollo Territorial Boyacá, 2020). This shows that the behavior of complaints has increased, whether due to sexual, psychological, physical or verbal violence, where Tunja is positioned as the area with the most recurrence of these conflicts. The Casa de la Mujer Foundation is the entity in charge of receiving these cases to guide women in the recognition of their rights and serve as a support mechanism through dialogue. However, it lacks a technological tool that allows adequate control and monitoring of cases of violence. Currently there is a deficiency in easily accessible medical care and information systems, given that there is none that allows for responses or care to possible concerns or cases related to problems of physical, family and psychological abuse, which can be used effectively. free and easy way. Since most of the telemedicine or care systems that offer a timely and quality service in the country are from private companies and it is required to pay to acquire them [1]. Services subsidized by the state or provided by non-profit foundations (physical information spaces, advice and quality care for women in all their diversity, in order to promote access to social and health support, generally from a rights and gender perspective) although they do a great job in creating strategic plans and covering some cities They often face an inequitable distribution of human resources between regions, little institutional capacity in the territories, little autonomy of health service providers, and exclusion from the Mandatory Health Plan (Suarez Roso, 2017). This generates problems such as the lack of resources to reach areas of difficult access or to provide early and timely care. It also opens the door to insecurity in the lives of many women who do not even have the opportunity to make themselves heard, to report or receive attention.
