Abstract
The human being, even if potentially inclined to learn, needs incentives to do it effectively. In these context, the virtual environments could simulate challenges of clinical practice and, at the same time, consider the personal experiences, allows the student’s stimulus and also offer additional theoretical content updated and of excellent quality. The purpose of the project is to develop a Clinical Case Simulation Tool (CCST), it´s supposed to be a supporter to the acquisition of clinical skills for medical education. This is an experimental study of applied technology for health education. The project is multidisciplinary between health sciences, computing and education. The development of an application to store real clinical cases is the starting point of this study. The structure of the proposed clinical case comprises the description of the case, clinical history, complementary tests, questions and further reading. The access to the application is password protected, composed of access profiles with specific characteristics such as teacher, coordinator, student. All clinical cases are linked to a specific college and discipline. The Clinical Cases simulator platform was created for storage of clinical cases and to provide technological support for preparing courses, workshops and support classroom teaching. This may be considered as an innovative approach, given the use of a digital system that enables the storage of clinical data and laboratory tests, as sounds of cardiac auscultation, pulmonary auscultation, images and videos.
