title: G-quest: a single platform for delivering questionnaires, educational material, and checklists on mobile devices.
abstract: We illustrate G-quest, a platform originally meant to deliver questionnaires on mobile devices that supports the accomplishment of studies involving outpatients. However the constructs made available by the platform proved to be useful also for distributing learning material and checklists, after a paradigm shift in their application was adopted. Thus, in addition to questionnaires, we designed a guide for educating patients affected by a rare disease and conducted a small survey to assess this new application context. Presently we are exploiting G-quest for the provision of medical checklists in critical care.
