Georeferencing in logistics transplant

Abstract

It is important to know the receiver’s location in organ and tissue transplant procedure in order to optimize logistics of the transplant, allowing the preparation of the surgical procedure and the calculation of cold ischemia of the organ to be transplanted. This study refers to the first stage of this project that analyzes the usability of the geolocation system for the transplant system, allowing the sending of the location of the receptors for the medical staff; monitoring the location with the use of a map; offering multiple means of communication between the team and receiver. The methodology used was a survey, held in São Paulo/Brazil with 33 collaborators who used the tool for 90 days and evaluated the usability using the Usability Scale System. The partial results tests show that the usability meets the needs of collaborators.
