Online Application to Support Training for Heart and Lung Sounds Assessment by Nursing Students and Health Care Professionals

This research project deals with the question of using multimedia computer applications for training Nursing students or professionals to identify heart and lung sounds as part of an overall health assessment session. The new design for this Nursing training application will support a wide array of mobile devices, by using novel technologies such as HTML5, CSS and JavaScript. We will also setup the foundations to assess whether the new application is as effective in helping Nursing students and trainees as our previous work. A matrix will be developed to assess the work taking into account such things as scalability, performance and reliability. The ground work for a future development study will also be created.
