M-HEALTH MOBILE APP USABILITY TESTED WITH ENGINEERING STUDENTS

The mobile app presented in this paper allows to the end users automatically process an English or Spanish medical text entered manually or using the camera. Then the system output allows to the users navigate and discover the meaning of some concepts extracted and other semantically related with them (these techniques are known as named entity recognition and some part of entity linking). The medical text entered by the users can be a health report, a clinical case for example or some other kind of text containing medical information. The user can paste directly the text or use a photo of the text to start the process. Our idea is to use this kind of mobile apps based on the results of intelligent systems, working in the background, in the educational process of medical students, involving the students throughout an active learning activity such as a case- based. We present here the usability evaluation of this mobile app carried out with computer engineer students.
