Abstract: Applications for smartphone or tablet devices ("apps") are ubiquitous and used across many disciplines. Apps are often sought as solutions, but their development requires thought beyond the technical process of producing an app. This session will discuss how students on a foundation year programme used PowerApps (part of the Office365 suite currently available to all Keele staff/students) to develop a working health app within a single semester. It will explain the process used and share supporting files that fast-tracked students beyond the technical process, to think how the app would benefit potential patients. The activity formed part of a summative assessment and produced innovative ideas from the student group which can be presented.
