ABSTRACT
The present work exposes the development of a mobile application for students of the Latin American School of Medicine to use in the subject of Biostatistics. Many applications of mobile devices are becoming key tools for student learning in the world. The Biostatistics subject has a large number of terms and formulas in which our students present difficulties for its application and interpretation in the work of the subject and research they carry out, due in large part to the heterogeneity of student origin and the diversity of languages and dialects that speak. These conditions motivated the creation of the Glossary of Biostatistical terms in Spanish for mobile use. To develop this application it was necessary to collect, organize and define the statistical terms used in the medical career, as well as the formulas and graphics most used in this science; The Android 4.1 operating system was used, working in the Java programming language, as well as Photoshop for the creation of the presentation. In it, two options are offered to access the definitions: one through the list of terms that is activated in a tactile manner, and the other through a search engine that locates and displays the typed term, within the glossary of statistical terms. This will allow students access at will to each term at any time or place and at their own pace.REFERENCES
