Mobile application for smartphone and tablets that offers the systematics and resources to carry out an efficient search process of the best available evidence in health, facilitating the development of evidence-based medicine or tests

The huge and growing amount of biomedical information limits the ability of clinicians to stay informed and up-to-date. Given the current overload of existing biomedical information, it is necessary to know in which data base you are most likely to obtain relevant medical information in order to assess whether the best evidence is applicable to your patients.

During the last decade, many practical resources have been created that facilitate access to high quality research. We call these resources "pre-evaluated" because they involve a prior filtering process.

To facilitate this task, a series of new documents and sources of information have been developed, including systematic reviews, evidence-based clinical guidelines, secondary publications, evaluation agency reports, question-answers, which offer the best evidence.

The classification of biomedical information sources can be done in various ways, but at the present time due to the development of evidence-based medicine and the work of Haynes et al, a new classification model called the "6" model is proposed. S ", with a pyramidal structure composed of different levels: systems, summaries, synthesis synopsis, synthesis, synopsis of studies and original studies.

The metasearch engines allow you to quickly find information by simultaneously searching different databases and levels of the "6S pyramid" with the possibility of filtering and visualizing them later by type of document or source of information. We highlight Accessss, NICE Evidence Search, Trip Database, Epistemonikos, Sumsearch and Evidence in medicine among others.

The application offers a link to the highest quality biomedical sources to obtain the best evidence in medicine. The resources are classified into meta-searchers, summaries, evidence-based clinical guidelines, systematic reviews, secondary publications, original studies and clinical questions. Accessibility to the source of information will depend on whether it is free or requires a free or paid subscription.

The mobile application offers the stages in the efficient search process, the search strategy and tips for the evaluation of the search, critical evaluation and integration of the information, in addition to the available information resources.

Resources MBE offers a multiple search engine that allows you to enter the free terms with its Boolean operators to be able to search in numerous information resources.

The main objective of the mobile application is to contribute to the improvement in the translation of scientific knowledge into clinical practice, an unresolved problem at the present time.
