Abstract
Healthcare web-application development teams involve non-computer experts working (clinicians) on the requirements specification that is later processed by software engineers/analysts (conceptual model) and coded by software programmers (software project). The management of this process, which involves different levels of abstraction and professionals with different backgrounds, is often complex. As such, mediators and facilitator’s mechanisms for the requirements-gathering process and information transfer are needed. The main purpose of this work is to minimize the problems associated with this complex process, supporting the requirements engineering process of a healthcare web-application in a rapid prototy** model. The results proved that a rapid and functional prototy** model can improve the effectiveness of the requirement elicitation of any software development.
