Health facilities and equipment

The Center for Simulation and Innovation in Health (CSIS) is a leading space for training and skills development in the healthcare field. Through innovative methodologies, it allows students and healthcare professionals to acquire skills in a safe and highly realistic environment.

Teaching and training

CSIS offers specialized training that adapts to the needs of undergraduate, postgraduate, master's and continuing education programs for health professionals and anyone interested in this field.

Clinical simulation is an innovative pedagogical tool that integrates knowledge, technical skills and human values ​​to prepare professionals for real situations. According to the Center for Medical Simulation, simulation recreates clinical scenarios to allow participants to practice, learn, evaluate and refine their skills in a controlled environment.
 

Methodology and evaluation

Clinical simulation is today an essential tool for the development and acquisition of skills in the healthcare field. This innovative methodology allows to complement and, in some cases, replace real experience through guided environments that reproduce complex clinical situations with a high level of realism. Thanks to this, quality learning and competence-based training are guaranteed, ensuring that professionals are prepared to face clinical challenges safely and effectively.

To promote student progress, the Objective and Structured Competency Assessment (ACOE) is applied, a rigorous methodology that accurately assesses the degree of achievement of the established competencies. This system not only guarantees quality training, but also allows areas for improvement to be detected and personalized learning to be offered, ensuring that each student advances with confidence and security in their professional development.
 

Innovation and research

CSIS promotes research projects aimed at improving and updating educational methods based on clinical simulation. Through this continuous research, more efficient learning strategies are developed and adapted to the needs of the healthcare sector.

This commitment to innovation allows for the improvement of the quality of training, the integration of new technologies and the refinement of simulation techniques. In this way, CSIS contributes to the progress of knowledge and the evolution of training in the field of health, reinforcing its commitment to educational excellence.

Activities and courses  

The LabIT was born with the aim of complementing the current laboratory (LARS), which due to the growth of TecnoCampus' teaching research and innovation projects was no longer sufficient to supply them. For this reason, the objectives are similar and shared, seeking to maximize and enhance the objectives with which the LARS was created. How to promote the development of sports sciences and, therefore, it is a laboratory that integrates teaching and research activity together with the transfer of this knowledge to the territorial fabric through the provision of services to sports clubs and the companies of the city of Mataró and the rest of the territory.  

Therefore, the LabIT works in three areas simultaneously:  

Teaching and training  

This teaching and training part aims, on the one hand, to provide a service to students, increasing the quality of teaching with innovative laboratory practices and the latest technology available on the market. On the other hand, respond to the teaching and academic training needs of both sports science professionals and researchers and anyone interested who wants to improve their specialized training in this area through the courses offered .  

Areas of research  

In this area, LabIT develops innovative and quality research in the field of physical activity, sports performance and health. The aim is to contribute to the scientific development of this area of ​​study by promoting the scientific communication of research results in scientific media, stimulating interdisciplinary cooperation with other national and international research centers. Some of these results can be consulted in the TecnoCampus research group section at Technology Applied to High Performance and Health (TAARS).

Knowledge transfer  

Finally, through the transfer of knowledge, the LabIT promotes all the knowledge generated and accumulated in teaching and research by professionals and researchers so that it has an effective and significant impact on the territory and professional activity.  

In this sense, and given the importance of the transfer of knowledge in the TecnoCampus, the LabIT offers all its knowledge and its technological equipment by providing services to all the sports clubs and companies in the city of Mataró and the rest of the territory.
