Pulmonary complications can arise due to trauma, postoperative conditions, or as sequelae of diseases such as COVID-19. To help patients restore lung functionality, most undergo lung re-expansion physiotherapy using a Respiratory Incentive Spirometer. However, currently available Respiratory Incentive Spirometers do not allow for quantitative track...

Introduction Respiratory incentive, an instrumental technique used to increase transpulmonary pressure, is indicated when patients present decreased volumes and capacities, a condition presented by patients with acute phase coronavirus infection and patients with pulmonary sequelae post COVID-19. Some studies recommend including respiratory incenti...

La COVID-19 producida por el SARS-CoV-2 produce secuelas en la función pulmonar con mayor compromiso en las personas que han pasado por las unidades de cuidados intensivos y que han recibido soporte ventilatorio mecánico. La evidencia científica disponible a la fecha recomienda la fisioterapia respiratoria y entre las estrategias el inspirómetro de...

Assistive technology promotes a greater level of autonomy and favors social inclusion in people with motor disabilities. Product design of assistive technology should take into account the sociocultural aspects of potential users to provide effective solutions according to context requirements. The authors established a research line on the develop...

p>En este artículo se describen las estrategias utilizadas por el equipo del proyecto de investigación ANDAR, en la experiencia con el Modelo Ampliado de Diseño Axiomático(MADA) de Aguilar-Zambrano (2009), durante el proceso de creación de un producto de apoyo a la movilidad que favoreciera la inclusión social de personas en situación de discapacid...

Traumatic or pathological brain lesions often result in motor disabilities that have strong personal and social effects. Assistive technologies can support this population, potentially improving their autonomy and promoting their participation in society. However, most existing research does not explicitly consider socio-cultural aspects, which dif...

Objetive. This interdisciplinary study used the Theory of inventive problem solving (TRIZ) and Cognitive task analysis (CTA) to address the problem of designing learning scenarios. Method. The study was conducted in a natural science museum in Cali, Colombia to solve the educational problem of teaching visitors about migratory birds who arrive at C...

El siguiente artículo comprende la metodología y los principales detalles técnicos con los cuales se evaluaron las posibles herramientas tecnológicas de apoyo (i.e Amplificador de señales EEG, Electroestimulador FES) a la discapacidad. Se realizó un estudio exploratorio de personas con ECV (Enfermedad Cerebro Vascular) en la ciudad de Cali, Colombi...

This paper proposes a method involving interdisciplinary participation with the purpose of identifying users' needs and analyzing the commercial competition for support products for disabled people. This method joins together quality function deployment (QFD) and Analytical Hierarchy Process technique (AHP). The method was applied to the evaluation...

Objective: Identify environmental barriers that affect social inclusion of people with motor impairment. Materials and methods: We conducted a descriptive study involving 45 adults with lower limb motor impairment. The survey included the following categories: a) socio-demographic, health and environmental characteristics, b) companion or caretaker...

This paper studies the influence of the type of method, intuitive or logical, used for idea-generation on the final creative results. An experiment was developed in which 16 design teams were asked to solve a design problem using different creative methodologies. Seven of the teams used the SCAMPER intuitive method and another seven teams used the...

Objetivo: Identificar las barreras del entorno que afectan la inclusión social de una población con discapacidad motriz. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo en el que participaron 45 adultos con discapacidad motriz de miembros inferiores. La encuesta incluyó las categorías: a) sociodemográfica, de salud y características del ent...

The common technical problems definition (CTPD) during the first stages of collaborative process between small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and academic research organisations is influenced by different cognitive frameworks. Indeed, each partner has his own individual cognitive frame and mostly interested only in his own objectives. In this contex...

The analysis of product design process shows problems that result in inadequate user design proposals: Industries are reluctant to use methods and techniques in the conceptual design; designers use their own strategies for problem solving; and there is little integration between different disciplines involved in the project. Additionally, there is...

span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: small;"> Este artículo presenta una metodología y los resultados obtenidos de un proyecto de actuación multidisciplinar en una relación universidad-empresa para favorecer la innovación. Desde la universidad participaron profesores y estudiantes de los Programas de Ingeniería Electrónica e Inge...

This article shows a methodology and the results obtained from a multidisciplinary project between the University and Enterprise which encourages innovation. The University participated with its faculty members and students enrolled in the programs of industrial engineering and electronic engineering, and the Enterprise was a group of organic coffe...

The results of applying the AHP multi-criteria technique are shown to decide which type of product must be designed to favour disabled people's social inclusion. The study was conducted in Cali where the census reported 8,618 cases of impairment involving alteration in body, hand, leg and arm movements. The aid products were classified under UNE-EN...

Se presentan los resultados de la aplicación de la técnica de análisis multicriterio AHP para decidir qué clase de productos técni- cos de apoyo deben ser diseñados para favorecer la inclusión social de personas en situación de discapacidad. El estudio se realizó en Cali, donde el censo reportó 8.618 casos de discapacidad, con alteración en el movi...

This paper shows a comparative analysis of classical product design theories with Gomez-Senent multidimensional model, identifying dimensions absent from such theories and detecting research opportunities. The Dimensions identified as absent were Factors (context) and Metaproject (project team organization). Currently in Factors Dimension, there is...

This article shows an analysis of a set of commercial products that help the mobility of disabled people using the laws of evolution based on technical systems suggested by TRIZ. The purpose of this analysis is to find innovation opportunities in technical aspects of these types of products. The products are classified by the ISO9999 -Class 12 Stan...

The analysis of product design process shows problems that result in inadequate user design proposals: Organizations are reluctant to use methods and techniques in the conceptual design; designers use their own strategies for problem solving and there is little integration between different disciplines involved in the project. Additionally, there i...

This article shows a qualitative analysis of the effectiveness of the use of TRIZ, a systematic creativity strategy, as a tool to support the creative competence within the Semester Project in the curriculum of Electronic Engineering. The analysis is based on an experience carried out with second year students from the Javeriana University in Cali,...

En esta tesis se propone un modelo ampliado del Diseño Axiomático para diseño de productos con equipos multidisciplinares. El Diseño Axiomático fue escogido después de hacer un análisis comparativo entre las teorías clásicas del diseño tomando como referencia el modelo de proyecto de Gómez-Senent. El Diseño Axiomático es una teoría basada en la int...

Se presenta una estrategia para detectar oportunidades de innovación en el diseño de productos de apoyo a la movilidad con la aplicación de las Leyes de Evolución de los Sistemas Técnicos. Estas leyes están enunciadas en laTeoría de la Solución de Problemas Inventivos: TRIZ. Los productos de apoyo pertenecen a la Clase 12 dentro de lanorma UNE-EN I...
