Desenvolvimento de um aplicativo mobile educacional para Medicina Nuclear

Every learning is mediated by the technologies available in their respective times, therefore, it is necessary to know how to combine the teaching objectives with the technological supports that best live up the learning objectives. In the practice of Nuclear Medicine, both in its diagnostic and therapeutic aspects, the risks consist in exposure to the patient, to the worker and also the public, and contamination is fundamentally for the worker. In addition, there is still a risk to the environment through the radioactive waste, if it's not properly managed. There is then a need to apply new forms of technology associated with learning and teaching in the field of Nuclear Medicine. In this context, the objective of this work was about the development of an educational application for mobile devices, with the purpose of contributing to the dissemination of knowledge about Nuclear Medicine and the creation of an interactive and trustful social network of co-authorship among stakeholders on the topic, being able to expand the possibilities in the context of teaching and learning in the field. The software is primarily aimed at students, teachers and professionals in Nuclear Medicine. However, due to the clear and concise language, the content is accessible to anyone who is interested. The system is dynamic, which allows the user an interaction through questionnaires, discussion forums, questions and answers, in addition to providing relevant information on Nuclear Medicine, in a reliable and organized way, serving both experts as well as for beginners. In this way,  the application aims to contribute to the teaching area, since it is extremely important to apply basic science, radiological protection requirements and good practice requirements to achieve safe and prudent use of radioactive materials in humans.
