    Psychiatric patients tracking through a private social network for relatives: development and pilot study
    (Springer, 2016-07) García-Peñalvo, F. J.; Franco Martín, M.; García-Holgado, A.; Toribio Guzmán, J. M.; Largo Antón, J.; Sánchez-Gómez, M. C.
    The treatment of psychiatric patients requires different health care from that of patients from other medical specialties. In particular, in the case of Department of Psychiatry from the Zamora Hospital (Spain), the period of time which patients require institutionalized care is a tiny part of their treatment. A large part of health care provided to the patient is aimed at his/her rehabilitation and social integration through day-care centres, supervised flats or activities. Conversely, several reports reveal that approximately 50% of Internet users use the network as a source of health information, which has led to the emergence of virtual communities where patients, relatives or health professionals share their knowledge concerning an illness, health problem or specific health condition. In this context, we have identified that the relatives have a lack of information regarding the daily activities of patients under psychiatric treatment. The social networks or the virtual communities regarding health problems do not provide a private space where relatives can follow the patient's progress, despite being in different places. The goal of the study was to use technologies to develop a private social network for being used by severe mental patients (mainly schizophrenic patients). SocialNet is a pioneer social network in the health sector because it provides a social interaction context restricted to persons authorized by the patient or his/her legal guardian in such a way that they can track his/her daily activity. Each patient has a private area only accessible to authorized persons and their caregivers, where they can share pictures, videos or texts regarding his/her progress. A preliminary study of usability of the system has been made for increasing the usefulness and usability of SocialNet. SocialNet is the first system for promoting personal interactions among formal caregivers, family, close friends and patient, promoting the recovery of schizophrenic patients. Future studies should study the network’s potential usefulness for improving the prognosis and recovery of schizophrenia.

    An App to Support Yoga Teachers to Implement a Yoga-Based Approach to Promote Wellbeing Among Young People: Usability Study
    (Springer Nature, 2019-07-26) García-Holgado, A.; Tajes Reiris, I.; Kearney, N. A.; Martinus, C.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.
    Many young people suffer from chronic stress and other issues that inhibit the functioning and development of the prefrontal cortex, and this also affects their intrinsic motivation to engage in any activity. In short, unless their well-being is addressed, they cannot engage effectively. The HIPPOCAMPUS project aims to address these issues by promoting the well-being of young people through the practice of a range of techniques derived from yoga. Yuva Yoga app is part of the approach to support the yoga-based practices with young people. It is a multiplatform mobile app developed as Backend as a Service both for Android and iOS. The first public version of the mobile app is part of the pilots implemented in the schools involved in the project, but there is not a special focus on the usability of the app. This work presents the heuristic evaluation of Yuva Yoga for iOS carried out by four experts as part of a major usability study that combines heuristic techniques, both iOS and Android, and empirical methods with users. Some problems were detected during the evalu-ation, but more of the problems have a low priority rating. They are mainly cosmetic problems that do not need to be fixed unless extra time is available on the project, or minor usability problems. The results have provided an important input to develop a new minor version of the mobile app, in order to improve the user experience in the pilots at schools.

    Delphi study to identify the young people priorities about digital society
    (ACM, 2018-10-24) Rodríguez-Conde, M. J.; García-Holgado, A.; Zangrando, V.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.
    This paper aims to present an advance of the results of the application of the Delphi technique, with the aim of gathering the opinion of experts or stakeholders on the topics of priority interest of young people in Europe, especially on the digital society. It is a work framed within the Horizon 2020 WYRED Project (netWorked Youth Research for Empowerment in the Digital Society). !e WYRED project, and in this specific case the Networking process, aims in bringing together children, young people, other stakeholders and policymakers around Europe. !e Delphi technique is one of the prospective methods that study the future, concerning the evolution of the factors of the techno-socio-economic environment and the interactions between these factors. !e characteristics that define this technique are anonymity, iteration and controlled feedback, and presentation of group data in the statistical form. !e progress of the presented results allows us to corroborate the agreement of experts about the topics that have been raised. According to experts, the concern of youth towards issues related to the digital society does not appear among the first concerns of young people neither in Spain nor the rest of the countries surveyed.

    Introduciendo la perspectiva de género en la enseñanza universitaria: co-creación de guías docentes y proyectos de innovación
    (United Academic Journals, 2019-09-11) González-González, C. S.; García-Holgado, A.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.
    La co-educación permite abordar de forma sistemática procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje que tengan en cuenta el género, la igualdad y la diversidad en los centros educativos. Sin embargo, en la enseñanza universitaria son escasas las propuestas de co-ducación y su consideración en las guías docentes, así como los proyectos de innovación sobre educación para la igualdad. Por ello, en este trabajo se presenta el proceso de diseño de co-creación de guías docentes, así como la ideación de proyectos de innovación educativa con perspectiva de género para la Universidad de Salamanca.

    El campus virtual como soporte para implementar una metodología activa para mejorar la tasa de éxito en la materia de Ingeniería del Software
    (United Academic Journals, 2019-09-11) García-Holgado, A.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.; Rodríguez-Conde, M. J.; Vázquez-Ingelmo, A.
    Las materias relacionadas con la Ingeniería del Software en los estudios universitarios de informática y, más concretamente, aquellas impartidas en los primeros cursos, suponen un reto tanto para docentes como estudiantes. La novedad de los conceptos y la necesidad de desarrollar el pensamiento abstracto para adquirir las diferentes competencias de la materia plantea la necesidad de llevar a cabo cambios significativos en la metodología docente utilizada. El presente trabajo presenta un cambio metodológico llevado a cabo durante los últimos tres cursos académicos y, en particular, la implementación llevada a cabo durante el curso 2017-18 con objeto de aumentar la tasa de éxito de una asignatura de Ingeniería del Software y lograr que los alumnos participen en el proceso de aprendizaje. El análisis de los resultados obtenidos muestra una fuerte correlación entre la participación de los alumnos y la tasa de éxito en la asignatura.

    Ecosistemas Software: Análisis de revisiones sistemáticas de literatura
    (IEEE, Sociedad de Educación: Capítulos Español y Portugués, 2019-12-29) García-Holgado, A.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.
    Los ecosistemas software, y en particular, los ecosistemas tecnológicos, permiten resolver problemas relacionados con la gestión de la información y el conocimiento en todo tipo de organizaciones. Con el fin de mejorar la definición y desarrollo de este tipo de soluciones tecnológicas, en primer lugar, se deben identificar y analizar las investigaciones previas. De esta manera se pretende esclarecer si existen soluciones en la literatura que permitan resolver los problemas identificados. Como fase previa a la revisión sistemática de la literatura, se ha llevado a cabo un análisis centrado en estudios sistemáticos de la literatura sobre ecosistemas software. Dicho análisis se ha realizado a través de un mapeo sistemático.

    Modelling the business structure of a digital health ecosystem
    (ACM, 2019-10-16) Marcos-Pablos, S.; García-Holgado, A.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.
    The current trend in digital solutions for the health sector is to move from fragmented services to progressively more integrated services provided by multiple stakeholders through technological ecosystem platforms. However, the business model is scarcely taken into account at the early stages of development of this type of ecosystems specially in the health sector. In the present paper a general approach towards the exploitation of a technological ecosystem focused on caregivers is presented. It follows the Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) in order to develop different ecosystem’s exploitation alternatives, taking into account the ecosystem stakeholders and their main value propositions. This serves as a starting data model in the software development process from which different business exploitation alternatives can be elaborated

    Data exploitation model in a health ecosystem to support formal and informal caregivers
    (MDPI, 2019-12-02) Marcos-Pablos, S.; García-Holgado, A.; García-Peñalvo, F. J.
    Business interactions are rarely taken into account at the early stages of development of software ecosystems in the health sector, which makes these kinds of solutions to stay as conceptual proposals or rapidly discontinued after deployment. In the present paper we describe our approach towards the exploitation of a technological ecosystem focused on learning and knowledge management processes to develop and enhance the caregiving competences of formal and informal caregivers, both at home and in care environments. The definition of the business process has been done using the BPMN standard, which allows to further include the business model in the definition of the data taxonomy
