ENHANCING UNDERGRADUATE PHYSIOLOGY EDUCATION: MEGLI APP - AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH FOR ACTIVE LEARNING ON GLYCEMIC CONTROL AND DIABETES

Glycemic control is a crucial physiological concept in the context of diabetes and obesity, two prevalent endocrine-metabolic disorders. The effective prevention and management of these diseases require healthcare professionals who possess a solid understanding of physiology. In this regard, the integration of technology in teaching methods has become increasingly important, as it garners high acceptance and interest among students. Furthermore, the ethical concerns associated with using live animals in practical physiology classes have led to the exploration of simulators as excellent alternative tools.
