Development of a technological didactic tool for learning and monitoring vital signs for students

Abstract

The objective of supporting the Nosology II subject was to develop an innovation project through a didactic tool that offered efficient training in the analysis of the clinical diagnosis of vital signs, since one is not available. Currently, technology offers a number of device options for the development of these innovative projects. For this reason, it was decided to carry out a didactic tool to simulate various states in the vital signs of a patient, which would allow students constant training. The type of innovation for this project is incremental, because an added value has been created on an existing product; adding new improvements to specific needs, becoming new products. A methodology was needed to guide the progress of the proposal, using the unstructured interview with two medical professors, in charge of developing nosology chairs. In addition, a focus group was developed with nosology II students, which allowed them to know their needs and for technical advances, it was divided into two phases: one consisted of electronic development and the other, in the development of software and infrastructure. Communication. It was possible to obtain a didactic tool that contributes to practices, strengthening learning in the analysis of the clinical diagnosis issued by vital signs.
