The integral approach proposed in this project needs a special patient?s data management system. To accomplish with this requirement, customized software was designed, that includes three main areas of evaluation: neurological, functional tests scores and neuropsychological (cognitive and language tests). Also, personal and medical data are included with confidentiality and security considerations.The neurological evaluation consists in three windows. In the first one the neurologist writes the stroke diagnostic, treatment of the stroke and if the patient has received rehabilitation. In the second window the neurologist carries out the neurological evaluation based in the NIHSS test. This test is presented with the options for that the physician ticks the correct options. In the third window a human figure appears and it has box positioned in the places where the neurologist evaluates the cranial nerves. This way the information of the evaluation is complete and it is available for other professionals. The physiotherapy evaluation consists in four windows. The first window is the Barthel Test and the physiotherapist should complete it by ticking off the correct option. The second window is the FIM test, in this test the physiotherapist selects the score corresponding to the evaluation. When the test finishes, the global score is obtained. The third window presents the DANIELS Test and the MODIFY ASHWORTH Test, both tests are presented for physiotherapist selection of the corresponding value with the evaluation. When the tests are finished the global scores are presented. The neuropsychological evaluation consists in six windows. These windows present different parts of the ACE-R Test. The ACE-R Test involves tests of five cognitive domains: attention/orientation, memory, language, verbal fluency, and visuospatial skills. For this reason, this test has six windows in where images of animals, places, geometrics figures and object of the diary life, phrases, dates and addresses are presented. In addition, the soft enables the simultaneous evaluation and the data storage in a database to statistical and clinical analysis, and it can be accessed through cell phones, tablets and computers.
