    Ari-Test: Set the Focus on the User Experience in the Design of a Self-Sampling Device for HPV Detection in Women
    (2024) Silva, Macarena; Gonzalez, Alberto; Caro Pinto, Iván
    Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is regarded as the main cause of Cervical Cancer (CC), affectingover 440 million people worldwide (UC Christus Healthcare Network, s.f.), diagnosing over 600 thousand women each year, from which half of them die (WHO, 2023). In Chile, this outlook worsens, where 70% of over a thousand women who are diagnosed yearly die (Urrutia, 2015).It constitutes a global public problem, which has among its causes the inequality of access to healthcare services, refusal on the part of women to attend their gynecological check-ups, and other socioeconomic determinants (WHO, 2023) that complicate the situation. In the research, different critical interactions were raised, the most relevant is the lack of time and the discomfort generated by the PAP test (Papanicolau) experience, which distances women from the examination and, therefore, the early detection as well. These diseases are asymptomatic and don’t show obvious signs until they are in an advanced state and treatment becomes limited. However, its effects can be treated when detected in time. This implies that we’re facing a design problem that was not addressed as such. A healthcare and well-being concern that’s affecting people’s quality of life, so setting the view in the user’s experience is something that wasn’t being contemplated in these types of exams. The project proceeded considering the multiple aspects of the challenge but taking as priority those that directly influence the promotion of early detection. The research started as an undergraduate thesis in 2022 at the School of Design of Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, and it is currently financed by the National Research and Development Agency, Chile’s main funding state institution in research matters. Ari-test eases vaginal self-sampling for HPV detection, allowing women to regain agency over their gynecological experience and self-care by granting the possibility of access to the exam in a simple way from the comfort and privacy of their homes. The design process was approached from the iterative methodology of Health Design Thinking, which focuses on the real needs and behaviors of users instead of seeing them as patients defined by illness (Ku and Lupton, 2018). Including users in the process through co-designing tools and considering their gynecological experiences was crucial and challenged us to go beyond designing only for their bodies but working for and with them.

    Elaboración de un simulador de trauma torácico a partir de un torso cadavérico utilizando tecnología de imágenes digitales e impresión 3d

    To describe the design and creation of a high-fidelity thoracic trauma surgery simulation model incorporating 3D printing technology using a cadaveric human torso as a model. Materials and Method: This is a descriptive study that aims to illustrate the creation process of a thoracic trauma surgery simulation model throughout the incorporation of prototypes and dynamic iteration tech-nologies. Results: A high-fidelity reusable thoracic trauma surgery simulation model was created from the digitalization of a cadaveric torso using a computed tomography scan. Throughout digital reconstruction tools, the subcutaneous, muscular, and skeletal structures were modeled from images obtained before and after an anterolateral thoracotomy. Using 3D printing and synthetic materials, a high-fidelity thoracic cavity was built so that perfused and ventilated porcine heart and lungs could be placed. A thoracotomy patch for the anterolateral thoracotomy was designed in a reusable and low-cost fashion. This simulation model is suitable for high fidelity training in the surgical management of cardiopulmonary traumatic injuries. Conclusion: The described methodology allowed the creation of a simulation model for training and assessment of surgical skills in thoracic trauma. The main compo-nents of the simulation model are made from reusable materials, broadening access to low-cost, high fidelity training.

    Medicine-Hub: A New Teaching Tool for the Study of Sectional Anatomy
    (Lancaster Univeristy, 2023) Montt Blanchard, Denise; Inzunza, Oscar; Neyem, Andrés; Caro Pinto, Iván
    Medicine-Hub is a platform that integrates analogue and digital components, specially designed for the visualization of -and interaction with- high-fidelity anatomical structures matching the reality of a cadaveric preparation. This project presents a solution to the inequality gap generated by the scarcity of cadaveric dissections available for health career students.
