Abstract

The Internet is a fundamental tool for the search for information, even being useful for daily activities; However, finding the desired information may take longer than expected. An example of this drawback is presented in the search for places of medical care in the city of Riobamba (Ecuador), mainly because several web pages must be accessed to find the data of interest. This article deals with the development of a mobile application called GEOLAM using the geolocation technique, which allows the search for information on public and private health care places in the city of Riobamba. In the development of the mobile application, the Scrumban methodology was used with the Model-View-Controller design pattern. The Java programming language was used for the coding of the mobile application, as well as the MySQL database manager and REST web services. The evaluation of the quality of the software was carried out by measuring the characteristic "performance efficiency", through the subcharacteristics: behavior over time and use of resources, based on ISO/IEC 25010. The resulting averages were interpreted based on the evaluation indicators, obtaining a performance efficiency of 87.38%, a value that represents "very good performance efficiency".
