Mobile Application to Determine the Severity of Salmonellosis Disease

Abstract

The paper deals with studying the use of mobile devices for diagnosing in medicine, working out the element of medical students’ electronic teaching and applying the mobile app in learning infectious diseases, namely, salmonellosis. The amount of people infected with this disease have been increasing year by year. The complexity of curing the moderate and serious diseases depends on the timeliness of determining the patient’s condition. The authors have statistically researched how four indices of clinical blood test that affect the course of disease are significant. Three mean values of each of the four indices of clinical blood test were shown, which correspond to the three levels of severity of the disease. The application for mobile devices that enables the urgent and accurate determination of the salmonellosis disease severity without extra time and financial expenditures has been worked out. It can be used by students in the academic process, by doctors while rendering the first aid to patients, as well as for the independent disease course control by a patient himself / herself.
