    Mobile applications are portable tools that allow users to benefit from multiple services. In the context of the Covid-19 pandemic, mobile technology was one of the protagonists in several areas of social life. Apps in the medical field made it possible for users to maintain sporting habits that enable them to cope with stress, and telemedicine services facilitated the resources for medical care to be provided if necessary, and with these options ensured social isolation. This study reflects on the importance and benefits of the use of mobile medical applications in times of pandemic from a communicative point of view. In this sense, the development of the research is feasible because the necessary theoretical background exists, in addition to having all the human and material resources to obtain results in this study. It is also important to point out that a mixed methodology (qualitative and quantitative) was used in this research, in order to expose technological, theoretical and methodological elements, considering also the application of a survey to obtain the necessary data for the analysis and evaluation of results to the students of the Communication degree of the Technical University of Ambato. The main results showed that mobile applications in times of pandemic were important elements for students in the medical area. This allows us to reflect on the role of technology today and its social importance. It also proposes social criticism on the importance of applying efficient communicative alternatives in technology so that the broadcasting of messages of collective interest can successfully reach the target audience.
