Establishing new models of health care and new forms of professional health-patient communication are lines of development in the field of health care. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the evolution of information systems and communication platforms to guarantee continuity of care and compliance with social distancing measures. Our objective in this article was, firstly, to know the expectations of patients treated in the healthcare processes “cervical cancer” and “pregnancy, childbirth and puerperium” regarding online access to their clinical history and follow-up in the care process. Secondly, we analyzed times involved in the cervical cancer process to find points of improvement in waiting times when digital tools were used for communication with the patient. A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out on 120 women included in any of the aforementioned processes using a hetero-administered questionnaire. The analysis of times was carried out using the Business Intelligence tool Biwer Analytics®. Patients showed interest in knowing their results before the appointment with the doctor and would avoid appointments with their doctor if the right conditions were met. Most recognized that this action would relieve their restlessness and anxiety. They were highly interested in receiving recommendations to improve their health status. It was estimated that there was room for improvement in the times involved in the care process, which could be shortened by 34.48 days if communication of results were through digital information access technologies. This would favor the optimization of time, resources and user perception.

International audience; The potential of a chlorophyll meter (CCM-200, Opti-Sciences, Tyngsboro, MA, USA) for the estimation of total leaf chlorophyll contents was evaluated in leaves of different developmental stages for Quercus pyrenaica Willd., Q. faginea Lam., Q. suber L. and Q. ilex L. subsp. ballota (Desf.) Samp.* For all species and leaf stages, a strong non-linear relationship (P < 0.0001) was found between the chlorophyll content index (CCI) and leaf chlorophyll content per unit area. In all species, the slope of the CCI-chlorophyll content relationship varied during leaf development, suggesting that caution should be exercised when using the CCM-200, since the interpretation of CCI readings should be limited to samples of similar leaf age. Also, the data indicate that the models should also be species-specific, owing to differences in the intercept and/or slope of the equations.* The addition of fresh LMA as a complementary parameter improved the accuracy of chlorophyll estimation in non-species-specific equations to a considerable extent when leaf samples of similar development were considered.* After due consideration, it may be concluded that the CCM-200 chlorophyll meter is a reliable method for acquiring an estimation of chlorophyll contents in Mediterranean Quercus species, with potential use as an effective tool in forest management.; Le potentiel d'un chlorophyllomètre (CCM-200, Opti-Sciences, Tyngsboro, MA, USA) pour l'estimation du contenu total des feuilles en chlorophylle a été évalué dans des feuilles à différents stades de développement chez Quercus pyrenaica Willd., Q. faginea Lamb. Q. suber L. et Q. ilex L. subsp. ballota (Desf.) Samp.* Pour toutes les espèces et les feuilles à différents stades, une forte relation non linéaire (P < 0,0001) a été trouvée entre l'index de teneur en chlorophylle (CCI) et la teneur en chlorophylle des feuilles par unité de surface. Chez toutes les espèces, la pente de la relation CCI-teneur en chlorophylle a varié avec le développement de la feuille, ce qui suggère que la prudence est de mise lors de l'utilisation du CCM-200,puisque l'interprétation des indications du CCI devraient être limitées à des échantillons de feuilles d'âge similaire. Aussi, les données indiquent que les modèles devraient également être spécifiques à l'espèce, en raison des différences dans l'interception et/ou la pente des équations.* L'ajout de nouvelles LMA en tant que paramètre complémentaire a amélioré la précision de l'estimation de la chlorophylle dans les équations non spécifiques de l'espèce, et ceci dans une large mesure lorsque des échantillons de feuilles de développement similaires ont été examinés.* Après mûre réflexion, il peut être conclu que le chlorophyllomètre CCM-200 est une méthode fiable pour l'acquisition d'une estimation de la teneur en chlorophylle des espèces méditerranéennes de Quercus, avec la possibilité de l'utiliser comme un outil efficace pour la gestion des forêts.
