Abstract

The present work was based on the research of the TELEMED group (Telemedicine and Medical Education) of the National University of Chimborazo (UNACH), current agreements between the university and the Ecuadorian Corporation for the Development of Research and the Academy (CEDIA), years 2019 – 2020, and current investigations in the Telemedicine - Telehealth group recognized in CEDIA and registered as external projects in UNACH. Learning Objects were designed based on the DICREVOA 2.0 methodology, with Android applications (OA-app), which currently rest in the Google Play store. The objective was to analyze the level of satisfaction with the use of the Learning Objects - app with Android technology, for a meaningful learning   of   Biochemistry, on the topics of Hemoglobin and Myoglobin, in the students of the first semesters of the Medical Career of UNACH. We worked with two experimental groups in two different cohorts, to whom a questionnaire was applied to know the level of knowledge of OA-app and another to determine satisfaction after the use of OA-app, the results were analyzed with the statistical tool Excel, showing that student satisfaction after the use of the Learning Objects - app with Android technology exceeds 90% of agreement and strongly agree, on the highest rating scale.
