title: Assessment of a prototype for the Systemization of Nursing Care on a mobile device.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  assess a prototype for use on mobile devices that permits registering data for the Systemization of Nursing Care at a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
  
  
  METHODS
  an exploratory and descriptive study was undertaken, characterized as an applied methodological research, developed at a teaching hospital.
  
  
  RESULTS
  the mobile technology the nurses at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit use was positive, although some reported they faced difficulties to manage it, while others with experience in using mobile devices did not face problems to use it. The application has the functions needed for the Systematization of Nursing Care at the unit, but changes were suggested in the interface of the screens, some data collection terms and parameters the application offers. The main contributions of the software were: agility in the development and documentation of the systemization, freedom to move, standardization of infant assessment, optimization of time to develop bureaucratic activities, possibilities to recover information and reduction of physical space the registers occupy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  prototype software for the Systemization of Nursing Care with mobile technology permits flexibility for the nurses to register their activities, as the data can be collected at the bedside.
