Integrated Adaptive Microlearning System for Healthcare Professionals

A microlearning system providing up-to-date and on-time information relevant to the current work of the (bio)medical professionals was developed. The system uses a microlearning approach and adapts to the working procedure of the medical professionals. The microlearning system for healthcare professionals is built in Java programming language and Spring framework and supports three different (bio)medical knowledge sources: clinical practice guidelines documents, classification data from databases, and prepared content for specific diseases and drugs. Microlearning system enables the integration of the learning process into the (bio)medical working procedure. It aims to help medical workers gain additional information about a patient and his condition or prescribed medication. Unlike existing microlearning systems for healthcare professionals that are mostly used outside the working hours and mobile-based, the microlearning system developed in this research is designed to be used during the consultation with the patient within the (bio)medical professional’s workflow.
