The aim of this study is to investigate whether a mobile application is useful for improving knowledge about professional competencies in students enrolled in Health Sciences degrees.
The learning environment in Higher Education as well as autonomous work of students, mobile technology is increasingly present due to the mass use of mobile devices and the development of high speed in data transmission, which provides today the possibility of being able to access in real time a great amount of information.
M-learning is defined as the ability to access educational resources, tools and materials using a mobile device anytime and anywhere.
Considering the advantages of this technology, m-learning can be a real option to the traditional teaching-learning method by encouraging the active participation of students in their own learning process.
Therefore, this educational innovation study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and the use of a mobile application as a complementary learning strategy in interactive format for the acquisition of professional competencies in Health Sciences.

| Instructional Materials Motivation Survey | The level of learning motivation is evaluated using Instructional Materials Motivation Survey (IMMS). The IMMS consists of four domains: attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction, with a total of 36 questions on a 5-point Likert scale. Possible scores range from 36 to 180, with a higher score indicative of a higher level of learning motivation. | 2-week intervention |

| Satisfaction survey questionnaire | Satisfaction is measured using Likert scale scores for different items, with higher values represent a better outcome. | 2-week intervention |
| Profile of Mood States | The Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaire is a measure of emotional state. It contains 65 items assessing mood state, which are grouped into six subscales: tension-anxiety, depression-dejection, anger-hostility, vigour-activity, fatigue-inertia and confusion-bewilderment. The score rate is a Likert scale (not at all: 0; a little: 1; moderately: 2; quite a lot: 3; extremely: 4). | Change scores: Baseline, 2-week intervention |
