Abstract

Healthcare applications are booming, with a potential market of billions of USD, for that reason we have designed and developed a web service, Helky, that allows active interaction between patients, medics and medical centers. Helky controls the three pillars of health, nutrition, medication and physical activity, by patients under the supervision of their caregivers. It allows daily recording of the evolution of the pathologies by means of its reference indexes, such as sugar levels and blood pressure. To interact with the API of the service we have created two interfaces, a web based and a voice based via Alexa, which reinforce each other without being mutually exclusive. We have created our own library, JDyn, which eases communication with DynamoDB databases, a tool that can be reused by other developers. Highlight that our API Rest has been designed to be secure, to operate standalone and to be accessed from other applications
