HackSaúde: Awakening Entrepreneurial Skills in Health Area Graduates

Entrepreneurial Skills; Design Thinking; Health; Hackton.

Developing entrepreneurial skills requires the individual to be exposed to complex and challenging tasks that actively mobilize their knowledge. The National Curriculum Guidelines advocate that one of the challenges for academic training in the health area is the use of methodologies that favor the active participation of the student in the construction of knowledge and the integration between contents and the development of collaborative interprofessional skills. With the objective of developing a guide that helps educators and academics with an application plan model that allows the awakening or strengthening of entrepreneurial skills in higher education students in the health area, while participating in a HackSaúde. The three phases proposed by the Design Science Research – DSR methodology were used. In the problem identification phase, it was possible to monitor the Health Business Summit (HBS) event and carry out a survey with health students who were involved in that event. During the exploratory phase, the Systematic Literature Review - RSL made it possible to identify the active methodologies that have been applied in undergraduate courses in Medicine in recent years in Brazil, as well as collaborating with the definition of the role of teachers and the choice of strategies proposed methodologies for carrying out HackSaúde; event with educational purposes that sought to bring together university students from different courses, with the objective of identifying and proposing solutions to problems in the health area. HackSaúde was carried out using the stages proposed in Design Thinking, with the predominant participation of students from the Medicine course, professors acting as mentors and an interdisciplinary panel that evaluated the proposals presented for the problems. The analyzed results show that the event is an applicable strategy and an opportunity to develop and/or improve entrepreneurial skills during the academic training process. Therefore, a Guidance Guide for the Application of a Health Hack was prepared, which will be presented in an e-book format, which contains the proposed steps before, during and after the implementation of a Health Hack.
