Design & user experience assessment of a mobile application prototype for documentation of medication related problems among undergraduate pharmacy students (dreams-study)

The ability to identify, prevent and solve issues related to the ineffectiveness and unsafe use of medications is a core competency in pharmacy practice and these issues are referred to as Medication-Related Problems (MRPs). Such competency starts with good practice of MRP documentation. At present, the learning materials for this critical skill rely heavily on paper-based documentation that is fragmented and lacking real-time support during clinical clerkship which hinders the development of structured clinical reasoning among students. To address this, Rx LogPro, a mobile-based application prototype, was developed to integrate documentation, embedded clinical references, and interactive visual tools to guide students through the MRP documentation process. Using the User-Centered approach, the prototype transforms documentation from a routine, burdensome task into a reflective and educational experience. By aligning with modern learning preferences and the realities of clinical practice, Rx LogPro not only redefines how clinical pharmacy documentation is taught but also streamlines the documentation process and empowers students with confidence and competence in planning for patient medication plans. This innovation seeks to demonstrate how digital platforms can shift the educational paradigm hence making clinical experience more intuitive and future-ready.
