MBAT: a newly developed mobile application for self-screening of pediatric bleeding disorders - a multi-center study.

ABSTRACT: Bleeding assessment tools (BATs) are used by trained medical personnel for screening bleeding disorders on a one-to-one basis with patients; hence, they are time-consuming and limited in use for large-population screening. The aims of the study were to develop, validate, and demonstrate a Thai BAT mobile application (mBAT) for self-screening of bleeding disorders. mBAT was developed and validated using the paper-based Thai version of pediatric bleeding questionnaire (TPBQ). Then, mBAT was applied to 916 subjects from communities and hematology clinics. Those with scores of ≥3 consented to further investigation of bleeding disorders. mBAT was developed for Thai children using simple sentences, a video introduction, pictures, and auto-calculation. It showed a high correlation with the TPBQ:
