Health facilities and equipment

TEACHING AND TRAINING

It responds to the teaching and academic needs of degrees, postgraduates and masters and to the permanent training of both health professionals and anyone interested in this field, through the courses it offers. 
Clinical simulation provides a new method of learning and training in which knowledge, skills and human values ​​are intertwined. Simulation, as defined by the Center for Medical Simulation, is a situation or scenario created to allow people to experience the representation of a real situation for the purpose of practicing, learning, evaluating, testing, or acquiring knowledge. 

METHODOLOGY AND ASSESSMENT

Currently, simulation is an indispensable tool in the development of activities aimed at acquiring skills. 
This methodology makes it possible to extend and replace real experiences with directed experiences that reproduce the substantial aspects of a situation with the utmost realism. For this reason, simulation is basic for quality learning and skills acquisition. 
Through the Objective and Structured Competence Assessment (ACOE), the student is assessed to ensure the acquisition of the established skills and to work on those that need to be improved in the following courses. 

INNOVATION AND RESEARCH

Research projects are developed with the aim of designing and identifying new, more advanced and effective educational methods focused on simulation with patients.

Facilities: Simulation spaces

The CSIS has eight Simulation spaces with state-of-the-art equipment, mannequins, specialized software, filming-projection systems and differentiated spaces where you will develop your skills and put your knowledge into practice.

The Physical Activity, Performance and Health Laboratory (LARS) is a multidisciplinary facility led by different professionals and researchers, mainly from the area of ​​sports sciences, who have approached the study of human movement since different perspectives, biological, behavioral and social. 

The TecnoCampus is committed to the creation of a state-of-the-art reference laboratory in sports sciences equipped with the latest technologies for the study of human movement and physical performance that will allow access to these facilities not only to the university community of the TecnoCampus, but also to the business, social and sporting fabric of the territory. 

360º LABORATORIES

El Laboratory of technological innovation, strength and functional assessment (LabIT) is a multidisciplinary facility led by different professionals and researchers, mainly in the area of ​​sports sciences, who have tackled the study of human movement With current and innovative machinery and material, which allows a rigorous analysis and quality adjusted to the needs of the current market immersed in the technological industrial revolution 4.0. 

The TecnoCampus is committed to the creation of a new state-of-the-art reference laboratory in sports sciences, which is complemented by the one that already existed (LARS) equipped with the latest technologies for the study of human movement and of the physical performance that will allow access to these facilities not only in the university community of the TecnoCampus, but also in the business, social and sports fabric of the territory.  

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, the LabIT develops innovative and quality research in the field of physical activity, sports performance and health. It is about contributing 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.  

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.  

Our Labs  

The LabIT has an open-plan space of 200 m2 with state-of-the-art equipment structured around three areas of operation:   

• Technological innovation area 

The technological innovation area has as its function the study of human movement, using the most recent technology on the market together with an advanced analysis of the signals obtained. Understanding, thus, which technology and which type of analysis are the most suitable for the study of human movement depending on the person and the objective for which it is intended. In addition, it seeks the transfer of technology to the daily use of sports science professionals, studying the validity and reliability of the various technologies used in this sector, providing not only applicability but also rigor and scientific evidence.
