Preconference:
Mobile Nursing App Prototyping (DIY)

Tuesday, July 17, 2018, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.
University of Maryland School of Nursing, Room 245

Description:

In recent years, mobile apps are finally entering the frontlines of direct patient care. Clinicians are using the apps to look for information, collect data, or help patients improve their health. The purposes of this workshop are: (1) to develop an understanding of human-centered design and other important principles related to creating clinical apps, and (2) to build a simple app using a freely available app development program. Join us for this hands-on workshop as we explore mobile app development.

Objectives:

At the completion of the workshop, participants will be able to:

Describe the different types of apps in use by nurses and patients in healthcare
List human-centered design principles for clinical mobile apps
Use design methodology to brainstorm and select the most promising clinical mobile apps
Describe the capabilities of the selected mobile app prototyping program
Design a typical mobile app (clinical data reminder app) with the instructor’s guidance
Identify opportunities to build future apps in their clinical practice

Target audience:

nurses working in informatics who are interested in prototyping mobile applications in their practice
