Development of a Mobile App for training health professionals in diagnostic imaging: a progress report

Mobile Apps are nowadays pervasive in our lives, employed for several purposes, among which education, representing a useful integration of web-based applications to which they add portability and much larger employability. Specifically, in healthcare, Mobile Apps can support e-learning/etraining programs devoted to health professionals in diagnostic imaging, allowing the end-users to continuously update their skills. Here, the ongoing implementation of a Mobile App, designed for iOS, is presented, whose aim is to provide medical doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals at large with a complete platform to update their knowledge in the field of biomedical images interpretation. Both an e-learning and an e-training part are present and several functions of both are currently under development. We plan to complete the implementation of basic features of the App within the end of the year, in order to collect the first feedbacks from medical community by the first half of 2019.
