Desarrollo de una aplicación móvil para monitoreo de radiación UV de la plataforma web GITEA de la ESPOCH

Abstract

The GITEA research group of Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo conducted an analysis of excessive exposure to UV radiation, showing an increasing risk to health, increasing the likelihood of developing diseases such as skin cancer. Therefore, the main purpose of this research work was to develop a mobile application that develop a mobile application that informs users through notifications about the level of UV, helping them to take preventive measures, by redesigning and reconfiguring the GITEA website. Therefore, an agile SCRUM methodology was adopted, recognized for its iterative and collaborative process. For the development, an API was created using PHP technology, as well as an API for the consumption of web services. Retrofit and Kotlin were used for the development of the Mobile Application; on the other hand, for the redesign and/or reconfiguration of the website WordPress, HTML and CSS were used. The ISO/IEC 9000 standard was applied to evaluate usability using the following criteria: ease of use, efficiency and user satisfaction through Likert scale. So, the website obtained a weighted average of 4.15/5 based on 72 users surveyed; while the mobile application also obtained a weighted average of 4.15/5 based on 44 surveyed users. In conclusion, the degree of usability of the Website and the mobile application obtained an 83% acceptance rate, from the users' perspective.
