Diseño de la interfaz de una aplicación móvil para un recetario sobre plantas medicinales ancestrales

Abstract

Over the years, the new generations are not aware of the benefits of ancestral medicine, for which all this ancient knowledge has disappeared. Currently most people choose to use modern medicine leaving aside the many benefits that ancestral plants have. On the other hand, there are very few people who use traditional medicine as older adults, shamans and healers, thus keeping this knowledge alive, but it does not have the due dissemination or importance, so that it comes to be known and benefits the masses. To save traditional medicine, the design of a mobile application interface is proposed that has characteristics adaptable to different devices and works as a virtual recipe book where the user, who is previously tested with different prototypes, can save, view, share information about medicinal plants and what is their use. For different types of users, we can have an interface that is friendly and allows us to learn about the different ways of preparing ancestral plants, making it possible for many people who are unaware of its use to have this knowledge at their fingertips with the application.
