Abstract: Medical education plays a vital role in a country’s education system. Therefore, it is essential that a medical student be provided with a state-of-art education. Engaging with a realistic learning environment ensures an effective study and practice of disease diagnostics for a medical student, thereby enhancing the medical education system.As the practice followed in the medical field, diseases are determined initially by diagnosing abnormal heart and lung sounds. Thus, practicing such diagnostics requires a large pool of patients representing each disease which needs to be learnt. However, providing such a large number of patients for a classroom learning session is impractical. Finding patients with each disease which needs to be learnt is another challenge. Simulation based medical education has currently emerged to practice diagnostics via heart and lung sounds. Either by using a dummy or a simulator patient, diseases are identified according to symptoms described by the perform

Abstract: Brazilians have great interest in weather forecasting, be it a trip plan, physical activity, the clothes that will go in the day or just for an elevator talk. There are several institutions and applications in Brazil and in the world that carry out the weather forecast, one of them being the Center for Weather Forecasting and Climate Research (CPTEC/INPE). One of these applications is the SOS CHUVA, developed by CPTEC, which shows images of radar and satellite in order to assist society in decision-making. The main goal of this work is to show the usability assessment performed in the SOS CHUVA app,in order to understand what aspects and user interfaces need improvement, in order to provide an even better product to society. For this, a usability assessment was made using the Thinking Aloud methods and the heuristic evaluation with the 10 Nielsen heuristics. Results are considered satisfactory showing the need for in-app adjustments.
