Abstract
Objective: To develop and validate an application for calculating the pediatric dose in the pediatric intensive care unit and urgency and emergency. Methods: This is a methodological, descriptive study, applied in the mode of technological production. Results: Ten pediatric doctors used the application and subsequently evaluated it, according to the criteria of layout, usability, perceived utility, ease of use and utility perceived by technology, using a printed questionnaire based on the System Usability Scale - SUS (Scale System Usability) and the Technology Acceptance Model - TAM (Technology Acceptance Model). Overall, the software obtained 88.1% approval by the judges, with 90.0% approval in terms of usability and ease of learning, and 85.8% for application utility. Conclusion: The CALCULEPED mobile app proved to be a useful, practical and well-accepted technology by pediatric doctors, facilitating the calculation of pediatric doses in emergency, emergency and intensive care units.
