Social Innovation in Health

[EN] The first course on Social Innovation in Health (SIH) was conceived and implemented in order to provide students with the necessary tools to assume an active role in the real health and well-being needs of the population, through social undertaking and innovation. Each group created and developed a minimum viable product, covering various global health problems, such as visual impairment, existing contextual barriers for people with Down Syndrome or Autism Spectrum Disorder, among others. From the course, it is accounted that SIH represents an incipient tool, with the potential to resolve health problems from a community and interdisciplinary approach. Its teaching from the undergraduate is essential, allowing tools and skills to be integrated in the development of future health professionals.
