Abstract

The UNA-SUS (SUS Open University) project aims to meet the training needs and continuing education of health professionals working in the SUS (Health Unic System), offering courses with dynamic perspective using trivial clinical events. But, one of the characteristics of UNA-SUS courses was the requirement of online access, making it difficult to professional connection of the most remote and underserved areas, specifically in isolated municipalities, indigenous areas and throughout the Legal Amazon. Because of this the UNA-SUS Amazônia project, which seeks to address the issue of access to training and information, through the development of technologies, including mobile applications that provide educational resources offline was implemented. The solution is based on local data storage and synchronisation (upload and download) when there is an available connection, always taking into account the displacement of the professional. In addition, the project aims to incorporate new interactive technologies, such as virtual reality environments and extended reality.
