Abstract

Systematic observation is an indispensable tool in clinical neurology evaluation, but data organization and record are extensive and time-consuming, requiring method and training. Reliable scales facilitate this task and technology can be decisive in the implementation of observational data routines. In this study, we aimed to show the experience of a software development to optimize the application of a clinical observational scale. For this proposal it was necessary to consider the needs of the target population, text and image storing and reports generation, using computers with basic configuration, questionnaires and the measurement of time. The software allowed significant reduction in evaluation time and favored the cost-benefit of the task. The proposed methodology was adequate for this type of study.
