60 Early onset neonatal sepsis: evaluation of the kaiser permanente sepsis calculator for use at a tertiary neonatal unit in the UK

Abstract

findings along with the literature would assist in making recommendations for this Paediatric app. Results 27 papers were included in this review. Three papers were identified that studied apps specifically in aspects of Paediatrics. Overall, the studies showed that medical apps were an effective education tool by medical students during clinical placements. Survey results showed that medical apps were used by 43% of participants and 97% would like a Paediatric medical app to assist their learning during a Paediatric placement. Conclusions Further long term studies are required to see the effects of medical apps in learning. More studies are also required to show how medical apps are beneficial for learning specifically during a Paediatric placement. A future Paediatric app should include concise information regarding common Paediatric conditions and have a simple design for quick use in practice.
