Mobile applications (app) provide many benefits for healthcare professionals, making them a useful support clinical decision system.
To describe the development of a mobile app, CalcVAN, to calculate vancomycin dosage regimens for adult and pediatric patients.
This study is a technological production research to develop a mobile app through the rapid prototyping type for the Android system in the Brazilian context. The mobile app structure was developed in four steps: 1) conception, including the needs assessment, the target audience, the literature search, and the definition of contents; 2) prototype planning, including the definition of topics and writing of modules, the selection of media, and the layout; 3) production of the mobile app, including the selection of multimedia tools, the navigation structure, and planning of environment configuration; and 4) make the mobile app available.
The CalcVAN has six screens, containing the vancomycin dosing calculator for adult and pediatric patients based on weight and estimated creatinine clearance parameters. Moreover, the mobile app is free and can be used without internet connection.
A free mobile app was developed to calculate vancomycin dosage regimens for inpatients. This tool assists to optimize the vancomycin dosing, contributing to the antimicrobial stewardship.
移动应用程序为医疗保健专业人员带来诸多益处，使其成为临床决策系统的有益支持。
描述一款用于计算成人和儿童患者万古霉素给药方案的移动应用程序CalcVAN的开发过程。
本研究是一项技术生产研究，旨在巴西背景下通过快速原型法为安卓系统开发一款移动应用程序。移动应用程序的结构分四个步骤开发：1）构思，包括需求评估、目标受众、文献检索和内容定义；2）原型规划，包括主题定义和模块编写、媒体选择及布局；3）移动应用程序制作，包括多媒体工具选择、导航结构和环境配置规划；4）使移动应用程序可用。
CalcVAN有六个屏幕，包含基于体重和估计肌酐清除率参数的成人和儿童患者万古霉素剂量计算器。此外，该移动应用程序免费且无需联网即可使用。
开发了一款免费移动应用程序，用于计算住院患者的万古霉素给药方案。此工具有助于优化万古霉素给药，促进抗菌药物管理。
