“…Destaca-se também que o uso das tecnologias de informação e comunicação pode ser um forte aliado no processo de educação em saúde para pessoas com DM na prevenção de úlceras nos pés (DABÓ et al, 2020). É necessário, portanto, investir em tecnologias leve-duras de cuidados que possam coadjuvar com a qualifi cação do cuidado à pessoa com DM, no intuito de modifi car as formas de abordagem aos pacientes considerando as melhores evidências científi cas, como guias para a prática clínica.…”

Among the complications resulting from diabetes mellitus, diabetic neuropathies stand out, which represent the main chronic complication associated with the disease, being usually misdiagnosed and treated incorrectly. Thus, early detection and prevention are essential to reduce the costs of diabetic neuropathies. This study aimed to report the application of a light-hard technology as a health education strategy for the prevention of foot ulcers. This is a descriptive study, of the experience report type, which involved the implementation of an educational action in health, from July 2020 to December 2020, by Nursing students from a Brazilian federal university. The consultations were carried out weekly in a city in the interior of Ceará. Weekly home visits were made to people at risk of developing foot ulcers. An explanatory manual was built to support educational action in health. The technology was implemented to teach how people with diabetes could prevent foot injuries. The project had a significant result, reaching 48 people with diabetes, who received self-care guidelines. In addition to people with diabetes, caregivers and family members also received foot ulcer prevention guidelines during health education visits. With the help of light-hard technology, it was possible to disseminate knowledge about lions on the feet to the public with diabetes.

Objetivo:Investigar estudos que apresentem sistemas computacionais de auxílio à cicatrização de feridas e quais sistemas se referem ao uso de laser de baixa intensidade. Método: Revisão de escopo que visou responder à questão de pesquisa: Quais sistemas computacionais auxiliam na cicatrização de feridas? Uma subquestão foi: quais sistemas computacionais se referem ao uso do laser de baixa intensidade? Resultados: A partir da busca, aplicando os critérios de elegibilidade, 49 artigos compuseram a amostra final. Os sistemas apresentaram várias finalidades de apoio à cicatrização de feridas, em que a maioria apresentou como usuário do sistema o profissional de saúde, sendo a medicina a área profissional mais mencionada, embora a enfermagem esteja envolvida com o manejo do cuidado às pessoas com feridas. Foi relatada com frequência a inovação na assistência a partir do uso do sistema computacional, o que demonstra a importância desse tipo de ferramenta para a prática clínica. Verificou-se com frequência o uso de plataforma mobile, como tendência da atualidade. Conclusão: Os sistemas computacionais têm sido utilizados como ferramentas para apoiar pacientes e principalmente profissionais na cicatrização de feridas. Quanto ao laser de baixa intensidade, houve escassez de sistemas computacionais com essa finalidade, com apenas um estudo.

Objective: To investigate studies that present computational systems to aid healing and systems which refer to the use of low-level laser.Method: Scope review that aimed to answer the question: Which computer systems help in wound healing? A subquestion was: Which of the computer systems refer to the use of low-level laser? Results: From the search, applying the eligibility criteria, 49 articles made up the final sample. The systems served multiple purposes in support of wound healing; the majority presented the health professional as a user of the system; medicine was the most mentioned professional area despite nursing being involved in the management of care for people with wounds. Innovation in care using the computer system was frequently reported, demonstrating the importance of this type of tool for clinical practice. There was a high frequency of the mobile platform, showing that this is a current trend. Conclusion:Computer systems have been used as tools to support patients and especially professionals in wound healing. Regarding the systems aimed at the low intensity laser, there was a shortage of computer systems for this purpose, with a study.
