【 摘 要 】

Technological revolution in the field of medical education is here, and it is time to embrace it. Adoption of on-the-go earning style, portability of smartphones, and expression of concepts with;interactive illustrations and;their global reach have made application (app)-based learning an effective medium. An educational. mobile app, BIFURCAID, was developed to simplify and teach complex coronary bifurcation intervention. This app has been downloaded worldwide. The survey results revealed its widespread acceptance and success. The authors believe that educational apps can have a significant impact on shaping the future of cardiovascular education in the 21st century. This experience with developing and testing the app could work as a template for other medical. educators. (C) 2018 by the American College of Cardiology Foundation.
