Study Overview

Brief Summary

In Phase 1, the application will be designed and developed using agile methodology, addressing the limitations(research gap found during literature review) of already existing mobile applications. Initial Testing of the developed application will be conducted in the Department of Medicine at Kasturba Hospital. Participants will be given a raw link to download the application on their phones for testing purposes. The inclusion criteria for participants include Experts(Ex: Unit Head), Professors(Ex: Professors, Associate Professors, Assistant Professors), and Doctors (Ex: Senior Residents). They will assess the interface design, ease of navigation, issues in the software if any, and overall performance of the application. Subsequently, they will complete an online questionnaire to validate the mobile application. The collected data will be reviewed and analyzed, followed by necessary modifications will be done in the application. This phase will be carried out for 3 months.

In Phase 2, User Acceptance Testing will be conducted. Participants will include doctors (Professors, Associate Professors, Senior Residents), patients, and caregivers selected from both inpatient (IP) and outpatient (OP) of the Department of Medicine, Unit-III. Similar to Phase 1, they will receive a raw link to download the application on their phones. After downloading, they will test the functionality, compatibility, performance, usability, and accessibility of the application. Subsequently, they will complete an online questionnaire and the data collected will be analyzed. Based on the feedback received the necessary modifications will be carried out and this phase will take place for 2 months.
