Desarrollo de un simulador de señales cardíacas como herramienta para el entrenamiento médico

Abstract

Currently some universities in the country do not have adequate infrastructure where students can put into practice the knowledge acquired during their student stage. In this specific case we refer to students in the health area who, to put their knowledge into practice, have to resort in several cases to real patients, limiting the student's correct performance for fear of affecting the patient. There are few laboratories in the country that have a modern infrastructure that includes mannequins and high-end equipment. The reason is that some schools do not have the necessary resources to allow their deployment. That is why the objective of this work is to develop a tool as an alternative of low cost and easy implementation for those students who are training in health sciences specifically in the area of cardiology. With the use of this tool, cardiac signals and real clinical scenarios can be simulated allowing students to complement their theoretical knowledge in order to help the development of new skills allowing to provide a better preparation to the student in cases that will commonly be faced in the professional life.
