Abstract
Actualmente, el número de aplicaciones móviles continúa aumentando día tras día gracias al desarrollo de la tecnología y al aumento de la accesibilidad de la población. Por otra parte, el tumor diagnosticado más frecuentemente, junto con el de pulmón, es el de mama. Relacionando estos dos escenarios aparece Buddy, una aplicación móvil orientada a pacientes de cáncer de mama.
Con el objetivo de mejorar la calidad de vida y acompañar al paciente en su duro camino, el desarrollo de la aplicación se centró en la parte personal y social. Además, siendo la edad uno de los factores de riesgo más claros para desarrollar cáncer de mama, la aplicación se ha diseñado de forma simple e intuitiva para facilitar el uso y hacerla accesible a cualquier paciente. En el ámbito personal, la aplicación cuenta con un sistema de almacenamiento de notas y monitorización de los estados de ánimo del paciente mediante calendarios. De esta forma, el paciente podrá organizarse de una forma más sencilla, además de mantener un historial de sus estados de ánimo que más tarde, puede ser de utilidad en alguna consulta médica. Por otra parte, en el ámbito social, el paciente dispondrá de un perfil con información personal con el que podrá buscar, añadir e intercambiar mensajes con otras personas que están en su situación. Conectar con personas que han vivido, están viviendo o vivirán lo mismo puede proporcionar al paciente apoyo social. Además, le ayudará a entenderse mejor, haciendo el camino un poco más llevadero.

On the other hand, breast tumor is the most frequently diagnosed one, along with lung tumor. Relating these two scenarios, Buddy, a mobile application aimed at breast cancer patients, appears. With the aim of improving the life's quality and supporting the patient on his hard journey, the development of the application focused on the personal and social aspects. Furthermore, as age is one of the clearest risk factors for developing breast cancer, the application has been designed in a simple and intuitive way to facilitate its use and to make it accessible to any patient. On a personal level, the application has a system for storing notes and monitoring patient moods through calendars. This way, the patient will be able to organize themselves in a simpler way, in addition to keeping a history of their moods, which can later be useful in some medical consultation. At the same time, in the social field, the patient will have a profile with personal information with which they can search, add and exchange messages with other people who are going through the same situation. Connecting with people who have lived, are living or will live the same can help the patient to understand himself better, provide social support and make the path a little more bearable.
