Abstract

Objective: to develop an app for assessing the level of consciousness in adults.
Method: technological production, structured from the theoretical framework of problem-
-based learning methodology and developed considering the steps of contextualized instructional
design (analysis, design, development, evaluation). Study conducted at the Federal
University of Santa Catarina, from May 2014 to April 2015.
Results: the app presents the contents: scales for evaluation of the level of consciousness, pupillary
evaluation, reflexes and breathing pattern, presented to the users through short texts
with brief explanations, images and videos.
Conclusion: the app can facilitate the study of the theme at any time or place, even allowing
its application at the bedside, thus contributing to improvements in teaching, care and safety
of critically ill patients. The results of the evaluation of the technology by teachers and students
will be the object of future studies.
