Resumen (en)
Pulmonary pathologies persist as leading contributors to global morbidity and mortality. This scenario was further intensified following the advent and rapid dissemination of COVID-19, underscoring the critical necessity for technological advancements in clinical patient oversight, especially within the domain of mechanical respiratory assistance. However, the integration of cyber-physical systems with remote instructional platforms and virtually accessible laboratories dedicated to the training of medical professionals in ventilator operation, remains inadequately investigated. To bridge this gap, this work delineates the architecture and engineering particulars of an e-learning ecosystem that seamlessly integrates electromechanical components and computational applications with pedagogical strategies. The proposed model uses Colored petri Nets as a rigorous formalism for representing and emulating the intricate dynamic processes inherent to the system.
Resumen (es)
Las patologías pulmonares se mantienen entre las principales causas de morbilidad y mortalidad a nivel mundial. Esta situación se vio agravada con la aparición y diseminación del COVID-19, evidenciando la necesidad crítica de avances tecnológicos para la supervisión clínica, particularmente en el ámbito de la asistencia respiratoria mecánica. No obstante, la integración de sistemas ciberfísicos con plataformas de instrucción remota y laboratorios de acceso virtual, dedicados a la formación de profesionales médicos en el manejo de ventiladores, ha sido escasamente explorada. Para abordar esta brecha, este trabajo presenta el diseño y los detalles de ingeniería de un ecosistema de aprendizaje digital que integra de manera armoniosa componentes electromecánicos y aplicaciones computacionales con estrategias pedagógicas. El modelo propuesto utiliza Redes de Petri Coloreadas como un formalismo riguroso para representar y emular los complejos procesos dinámicos inherentes al sistema.
