Technological advances and teaching innovation applied to health science education
[EN]In recent years, computer application development has
experienced exponential growth, not only in number but also
regarding the fields that have benefitted from its use. In health
science training and medicine in particular, the progressive
incorporation of technological developments has transformed the
teaching and learning process, resulting in true “educational
technology”, which this track focuses on given its repercussion
and current dissemination. One of the most representative
examples within educational technology has been the
development of new content visualization systems, more complete
and realistic than traditional learning material on paper. These
applications are true learning environments aimed toward
maximizing the student’s work outside the classroom and the
interaction with the contents given, an important support or
complement to traditional teaching. The technological application
development with teaching purposes in Heath Science is paying
increasing attention to mobile phones, smartphones and tablets
due to their portability, economic accessibility and Internet access,
maximizing the dissemination and availability of developed
applications. These changes in health science teaching pose a
challenge for teachers and institutions when designing,
developing, implementing and evaluating these technological
applications, as well as an effort on behalf of students to adapt.
Thus, it is fitting to provide a space to gather and reflect upon
these practices in an event like the International Conference on
Technology Ecosystems for Enhancing Multiculturalism.
Nowadays, a growing number of studies have directed their
attention to the effectiveness evaluation of these applications with
increasingly sophisticated designs. The results are encouraging
and signal a promising future for the development of computer
applications in health science. The purpose of this track is
twofold: to offer a general vision on the contribution of medical
informatics and related fields in health science; and to provide an
excellent opportunity to promote and exchange innovative
teaching experiences, especially those based on the application of
new technologies
Technological innovations in biomedical training and practice
As we become more integrated into a global world, technological advances and teaching innovation that are grounded in Science have become crucial. Rapid advancements in science education and information technology provide promising resources that require many academic disciplines to work together. Developing new tools and defining new methodologies to share educational experiences, including empirical studies that support their efficiency, constitute a promising approach to improve Health Sciences. The aim of this session is to encourage and enable the exchange of information related with the advance and support of Health Science Education. In this paper the authors summarize the recent advances in technological innovations in biomedical training and practice. Most of the main trends in this field are reviewed, including: training in health sciences through a variety of resources such as computer simulations, stereoscopic visualization systems with augmented reality glasses, computer platforms for managing and using resources and documents; the generation of three-dimensional images developed with commercial software for 3D reconstruction; medical and surgical simulation using Virtual Reality (RV) and Augmented Reality (AR); the role of stereoscopic vision systems in the health sciences; and the use of teaching medical material reconstructed with 3D printers.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Segmentacion manual y automática de imágenes radiológicas seccionales para resecciones pulmonares anatómicas con cirugía robótica
Este trabajo se desarrolla en el programa de Doctorado Formación en la Sociedad del
Conocimiento (García-Peñalvo, 2013, 2014; García-Peñalvo et al., 2021), siendo su portal la
principal herramienta de comunicación y visibilidad de los avances (García-Holgado et al., 2015;
García-Peñalvo et al., 2019). Esta tesis se desarrolla con el Grupo VisualMed Systems a la que
pertenece la doctoranda, grupo muy enfocada hacia la utilización de técnicas de diagnóstico por
imagen para la formación médica y la práctica clínica
