title: Learner centered software design to empower physiology education.
abstract: Misconceptions in physiology undermine students' knowledge. New uses of technology in education offer interesting alternatives to correct these problems. This poster presents a design strategy based in user-centered design and the result of such process: an interactive program to support learning of respiratory physiology. This is an ongoing project, and future efforts will measure the effectiveness of this design tool in medical education.
