Optimización de procesos mediante la aplicación de herramientas tecnológicas emergentes : Desarrollo de un juego serio con realidad virtual para enseñar la correcta higiene oral en niños.

Abstract

This curricular integration project addresses the lack of educational tools on oral health and its contribution to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number 3: good health and well being. "Molar Urku" is a serious game focused on proper oral hygiene, using virtual reality to capture the audience's attention and implementing gamification techniques to maintain motivation. Concepts were integrated through analogies with an amusement park, making it easier for users to understand and stay engaged. The iPlus methodology and the agile SCRUM framework facilitated the identification of requirements, the selection of gameplay mechanics, and flexibility in the face of project uncertainty. Gamification mechanics proved useful, providing motivation through feedback, and usability testing improved the user experience. The game, developed in Android format to ensure accessibility, showed high acceptance and effectiveness in learning about oral health, standing out for its integration of advanced technology and innovative pedagogical strategies, and significantly contributing to children's well-being by promoting preventive hygiene habits.
