(Libre University of Colombia, 2016) José Noguera; Sergio Guerrero; Omar Carreño; Luis Fernando Arias
class="Text">En el presente documento se muestran los resultados del proyecto “Aplicación Android para silla de ruedas, que permita controlarla por comandos de voz, pantalla táctil y programación de ruta”, financiado por la Universidad Cooperativa de Colombia. Se presenta una aplicación en sistema operativo Android que controla una silla de ruedas eléctrica para uso de personas que presenten movilidad reducida con el fin de mejorar su calidad de vida y desarrollo en la sociedad. Este aplicativo se desarrolló por medio de la interfaz de Android Studio con el fin de reducir los costos de implementación gracias a su estrategia de Open Source (Código Libre). En este prototipo de silla de ruedas se presenta 4 sensores ultrasónicos para detectar la proximidad de objetos, tacos de protección, un sistema de carga de baterías con un panel solar, un joystick para manipular la silla, una tarjeta de distribución de señales de entrada y salida del prototipo y un dispositivo Arduino, que se encarga de procesar e interpretar los datos provenientes de la aplicación, sean éstos de voz, panel táctil o programación de ruta, a través de un módulo wifi CC3000 de arduino que gestiona el envío de señales a la etapa de potencia. La etapa de potencia emplea un circuito Puente H para el cambio de dirección en los motores.

<title>Abstract</title> Following the peace agreement process in Colombia and to guarantee the right to health, a national educational program to train community leaders in technical education in public health was designed and implemented. Using qualitative methodologies, we sought reflections about the impact of the training process on the 'participant's life projects, collecting information from previous and current experiences and expectations after the program. Participants (n = 44) included peasants, afro-Colombian and indigenous communities, displaced people, victims of the armed conflict, and ex-combatants of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia - Army of the People (FARC-EP). Data collection through ethnographic observation, focus groups, and individual semi-structured interviews took place between October and November 2018. Results indicate that the participants saw the program as an opportunity to meet their goals and have better opportunities for their lives; change their way of thinking, and be reflective and open to discussion. Historical governmental and institutional abandonment was identified as a barrier for trust in the program and uncertainty on its potential benefits. Daily life co-existence during the training was a challenge between participants given their diverse backgrounds in the context of conflict in Colombia. It is important to create friendly and explanatory strategies to generate trust with and among participants accompanied with psychological support, ease successful interaction, and generate wellbeing through the program's implementation.
