Abstract

The rapid technological advancement in the field of healthcare has a significant and positive impact on medical education. The widespread use of digital resources has seen growth with the Covid-19 pandemic and has driven the availability of new ways to deliver education through digital platforms for hybrid and distance learning. In this regard, the objective of this study was to develop a mobile educational support platform in Infectious Diseases for undergraduate medical education. The applicability and usability of the system, its impact on facilitating education, and the user satisfaction with the new tool were evaluated. This was a quantitative, experimental, descriptive study in which the developed platform was assessed by 42 fourth-semester medical students at Christus University Center (Unichristus) through questionnaires to estimate its impact on various educational scenarios and the level of satisfaction with this tool. In terms of its effectiveness, the System Usability Scale (SUS) was applied. As a result, it was found that the platform scored an SUS score of 84.64 with a standard deviation of 13.8, and a statistically significant Spearman correlation (p<0.05) was evident. It is concluded that the mobile platform in Infectious Diseases is a tool with good acceptability and ease of use, allowing for an effective alternative approach to medical education at the undergraduate level.
