Design and development of a mobile application for drug information and other health data for users and patients of pharmacies and outpatient pharmaceutical services.
Article in Exploratory research in clinical and social pharmacy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: The advancement of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has transformed multiple sectors, including healthcare, by enhancing access to information, optimizing service management, and reshaping interactions between healthcare professionals and users. Objective: (1) To enhance the accessibility and quality of PC services, (2) to advance digital health implementation in Colombia by integrating pharmaceutical practice with innovative technological solutions that promote patient empowerment and patient- centered care models, (3) to demonstrate a comprehensive workflow for developing e- health applications using a User-Centered Design (UCD) approach. Methods: The study employed a User-Centered Design (UCD) approach, structured in four phases: (1) identification of user needs through an exploratory review and a descriptive study; (2) gathering and prioritization of functional requirements using the MoSCoW method; (3) design and development of a prototype based on six thematic databases; and (4) usability testing through task-based user evaluations and satisfaction rating scales. Results: A total of 72 functional requirements were identified and categorized into two main groups: those related to information provision and those linked to specific application features. Twenty functionalities were prioritized as essential, including drug information searches, healthy lifestyle guidance, medication intake reminders, and pharmacy geolocation. The final prototype comprised eight functional modules.Usability testing showed that 100 % of users completed most tasks, with task times under one minute and high satisfaction scores across all evaluated components. Conclusions: The application demonstrated high levels of acceptance and usability, establishing itself as a potentially effective tool to improve access to pharmaceutical care services, empower patients, and promote safe medication use in outpatient settings. Additionally, the methodology presented in this study may serve as a reference for the development of future digital health tools.
