Abstract

Apps are increasingly to facilitate the study of microbiology at various universities worldwide. In this article, we studied a range of useful Apps for microbiology. For quality control, a rating of ≥ 4 and ≥ 5,000 reviewers were established as criteria for quality. Apps in Spanish and English were considered. Of the 120 microbiology Apps, we found in the various e-stores, only 30 met all the inclusion criteria. The most downloaded Apps were related to antimicrobial guidelines and doses. Finally, no differences were found between the Spanish and English Apps in terms of quality most downloaded Apss in terms of diabetes were to record results, and receive advices to healthy life style, lastly odontologist Apps were mainly used to improve the communication between patient and odontologist and improve the way of oral surgeon through simulators. After our larges study were we have assessed hundreds of Apps, we have realized that are very few Apps created by professionals to professionals. There are marketing digital agencies, which are able to write about any theme related with health. Apps in health themes are a promising tool, which should have more legal control.
