Ultrasound is an imaging study that has become very useful within clinical practice, being adopted by various medical specialties, in order to improve the quality of care of patients. Within the framework of the research scholarship on innovation in surgical technology, an application for mobile devices of an academic, accessible and free nature was developed in order to encourage physicians residents and surgeons to acquire knowledge, basic skills and basic interventionism maneuvers under ultrasound, with the use of ultrasound in medical evaluation. It seeks to promote continuous medical training at any time and anywhere. For its development, there was audiovisual material, generated by expert healthcare professionals where basic theoretical-practical knowledge is applied.
