Introduction:

The training of medical sciences students began as something involving purely face-to-face activities; but as time passed, the inventions became part of the medical and educational practice where digital education reached a relevant position.

Objective:

To design an educational software for the teaching and learning of the characteristics of the physical examination of the cardiovascular system.

Methods:

A study of innovation and technological development was carried out with the design of a multimedia, using the Chreasoft platform for the study of the physical examination of the cardiovascular system at the Subsidiary of Medical Sciences Nuevitas during the 2020 - 2021 academic year. The universe of application of the software was made up of the 33 students in the 3rd year of medical studies.

Results:

During the initial diagnosis, three students were evaluated as poor. In the final evaluation, after using the software, the use of digital and printed bibliography predominated. In addition, an increase in the level of information among students was evidenced since most of them were evaluated as good; after the use of the educational software the high level of satisfaction expressed by the students was highlighted.

Conclusions:

The multimedia Physical Examination of the Cardiovascular System constitutes, in our field, a contribution to the teaching-learning process and contributes to the way of acting of the future graduate through the formation of values, interactivity with the content, feedback, evaluation and development of skills, independent work, and self-preparation.
