Pud\u00fa, its name, provides teleassistance for COVID-19 patients, making it possible to reduce risks of contagion among health personnel and save on protective supplies. <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Pud\u00fa was developed by researchers from the Faculty of Physical Sciences and Mathematics (FCFM) of the University of Chile, the Hospital Cl\u00ednico Universidad (HCUCH), and the Hospital San Juan de Dios, also belonging to the University.<\/p>

Veronica Vargas, psychologist and head of the Emotional Health area of the Critical Patients Unit of HCUCH, presented the project as after the health crisis she tried to create a response to continue providing mental health care for her patients.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Vargas considers the presence of a psychologist to be extremely important for patients in critical units. After this problem and the growing number of patients in the hospital, he sought ways to provide care to his patients. The psychologist was in charge of looking for professionals with experience in telemedicine and that is how she found Dr. Mauricio Salazar, neurologist of Hospital San Juan de Dios with experience in teleassistance.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>

Later he approached the FCFM, which had a project of a robot, however, it had to be adapted to meet the new health requirements. The original robot operated autonomously; an aspect that had to be modified so that hospital staff could control it. However, functions such as the system that prevents it from colliding with objects or walls were maintained in the new project. Another aspect that had to be modified was the ease in its use, so it would not be necessary to have a previous training to control it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Pud\u00fa's functions include the ability to contact the patient's relatives through a video call and provide personalized psychological care. In addition to the emotional health aspect, Pud\u00fa avoids the use of special protection for health staff when coming into contact with their patients, in this way professionals in psychology can care for a greater number of patients without the need to use protective equipment.<\/p>

The success of this project in such a short span was possible thanks to the interdisciplinary team that was formed, engineers and health personnel. Javier Ruiz de Solar, professor at FCFM recognized how important it is to contribute in the field of health and that there is an impact in the short term in the hospital.<\/p>

Pud\u00fa has an important long-term projection, so they hope to provide greater accompaniment to patients. In addition to expanding its service and having a presence in hospitals in another province of the Andean country, as well as applying it in offices where specialized personnel are needed. Vargas believes that this project responds to an emergency problem such as the pandemic, however, he believes it possible that this telemedicine tool reaches other areas of health.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Pud\u00fa, como fue nombrado, brinda teleasistencia a pacientes con COVID-19, lo que hace posible reducir riesgos de contagio entre el personal de salud y ahorrar en insumos de protecci\u00f3n. Pud\u00fa fue desarrollado por investigadores de la Facultad de Ciencias F\u00edsicas y Matem\u00e1ticas (FCFM) de la Universidad de Chile, el Hospital Cl\u00ednico Universidad (HCUCH), y el Hospital San Juan de Dios, tambi\u00e9n pertenecientes a la Universidad. Ver\u00f3nica Vargas, psic\u00f3loga y titular del \u00e1rea de Salud Emocional de la Unidad de Pacientes Cr\u00edticos del HCUCH, present\u00f3 el proyecto ya que tras la crisis sanitaria intent\u00f3 crear una respuesta para continuar las atenciones de salud mental a los pacientes. Vargas considera que la presencia de un psic\u00f3logo es sumamente importante para los pacientes de unidades cr\u00edticas. Tras esta problem\u00e1tica y el creciente n\u00famero de pacientes en el hospital, busc\u00f3 la manera de brindar atenci\u00f3n a sus pacientes. La psic\u00f3loga se encarg\u00f3 de buscar profesionales con experiencia en telemedicina y fue as\u00ed como encontr\u00f3 al Dr. Mauricio Salazar, neur\u00f3logo de Hospital San Juan de Dios con experiencia en teleasistencia.  Posteriormente se acerc\u00f3 a la FCFM, que contaba con un proyecto de un robot, sin embargo, este tuvo que ser adaptado para cumplir con los nuevos requerimientos sanitarios. El robot original funcionaba de manera aut\u00f3noma, aspecto que debieron modificar para que el personal del hospital pudiera controlarlo. No obstante, funciones como el sistema que impide que choque con objetos o paredes se mantuvieron en el nuevo proyecto. Otro aspecto que tuvo que ser modificado fue la facilidad en su uso, de esta forma no ser\u00eda necesario un entrenamiento previo para controlarlo. Entre las funciones de Pud\u00fa se encuentran la capacidad de contactar a los familiares del paciente a trav\u00e9s de una videollamada y brindar atenci\u00f3n psicol\u00f3gica personalizada. Adem\u00e1s del aspecto de la salud emocional, Pud\u00fa evita la utilizaci\u00f3n de protecci\u00f3n especial para el personal de salud al entrar en contacto con sus pacientes, de esta forma los profesionales en psicolog\u00eda pueden atender a un mayor n\u00famero de pacientes sin necesidad de utilizar equipo de protecci\u00f3n. El \u00e9xito de este proyecto en un lapso tan corto se debe al equipo interdisciplinario que se form\u00f3, ingenieros y personal de salud.  Javier Ruiz de Solar, docente en la FCFM reconoci\u00f3 lo importante que es contribuir en el \u00e1mbito de la salud y que exista un impacto en el corto plazo en el hospital. Pud\u00fa tiene una proyecci\u00f3n importante a largo plazo, por lo que esperan brindar mayor acompa\u00f1amiento a los pacientes. Adem\u00e1s de expandir su servicio y llegar a tener presencia en hospitales de otra provincia del pa\u00eds andino, as\u00ed como aplicarlo en consultorios donde sea necesario personal especializado. Vargas considera que este proyecto responde a una problem\u00e1tica de urgencia como la pandemia, sin embargo, cree posible que esta herramienta de telemedicina llegue a otros \u00e1mbitos de la salud.
