Use of mobile applications in plastic surgery
Highlights
The modernization of medicine allowed a greater interaction between medical teams and patients
Of the applications related to clinical evaluation, two were on burns and the rest were on information about surgical safety, drug interaction, and surgical planning
Eleven were exclusive to the Apple Store, two were exclusive to the Android system, and six were available in both application stores (Table 1)
Summary
The modernization of medicine allowed a greater interaction between medical teams and patients. Technological development, especially in communication, has led to the creation of new devices that, through the Internet, can provide new means of obtaining information, diagnosis, patient follow-up, surgical simulations, guidelines, electronic books, and specific information about pathological conditions, and assist in therapeutic conduct and surgical planning[1,2,3]. This represents a significant enabling of information dissemination at an exceptional speed, to a specific population. The use of these applications creates new opportunities to integrate mobile technology and daily clinical practice
