These rules are necessary and although in Colombia are not obligatory, its compliance should be applied, as clinics and hospitals are considered high-risk areas of infection, and its compliance is intended to prevent the spread and growth of microorganisms potentially pathogenic for patients, visitors or people working in the company.

Its use goes from patients rehabilitation, medication storage and the management of biological hazardous materials, to minimally invasive surgery. This paper, presents the implementation of an Android based mobile application -Asimov- for remote control of an industrial robotic arm KUKA KR6, through WiFi technology. The application is a control tool for the robotic manipulator as an alternative to the Teach Pendant system provided by the manufacturer. The application functions and additional options are presented. Tests to nine people including health area personnel were performed, aiming to compare Asimov and Teach Pendant System. The evaluation of the results and the use of Wilcoxon signed rank test allowed to appreciate a better assessment for Asimov in the following criteria: ease of learning, usability, graphic interface and comfort. Significant differences in the last two benchmarks were found.","PeriodicalId":269877,"journal":{"name":"2015 Pan American Health Care Exchanges (PAHCE)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125148313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A new trend of intervention used by health professionals have been using technological resources in their clinical practices. The objective of this study was to compare the impact of two programs of cognitive stimulation. A program is composed of traditional techniques and the other by inserting a computer system with games called Promoting Cognitive Performance - ProDC. An experimental study with the elderly aged 60 or older, of both sexes, classified with mild cognitive impairment or mild dementia through the Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR). There were no statistically significant differences between groups.
