Hospital Sant Joan de Déu Barcelona is one of the leading pediatric centers in Europe, with a consolidated track record in care, research, and teaching in maternal-infant medicine. Through its training area, the hospital designs educational programs, integrating the latest scientific advances with active learning methodologies and clinical simulation. In this context, the teaching team needed a tool capable of demonstrating the live process of coagulation, simulating pathological scenarios of varying severity, and allowing the student to experience how each treatment acts on the hemostatic system, all integrated into its digital training environment.
Teaching the dynamic process of coagulation
Congenital coagulopathies —Hemophilia A and B, Von Willebrand disease, plateletopenia, plateletopathy— are one of the most complex topics in pediatric hematology. Their traditional teaching, based on text, static diagrams, and images, makes it difficult for the student to understand the dynamic process of coagulation and, above all, the actual effect of each therapeutic decision on the hemostatic system.
