For this reason, the objective of this research is to design an information system that integrates multiple technologies to support the provision of primary health care services. The research is descriptive and technological development in scope. As a final result, block diagrams and flow diagrams were obtained to represent the set of technologies to be used and the information data flow of the proposed system. It is concluded that the proposed system would facilitate the provision of health services in areas with or without internet connectivity, as well as support decision-making by executives of health organizations, in addition, telemedicine is a new technological trend for what projects like this allow Colombia to be at the forefront in health and technology issues.
