Hello world! let´s learn with the HEMOACTION, HEMOAÇÃO or HEMOACIÓN
By frederica cassis
The story of these flash cards called Hemoaction started almost 5 years ago.
I used to draw some images (a vein, a knee from the inside, the fibrin net…) for my patients with hemophilia and for their families, to make it easier for them (and for me) to explain difficult topics about hemophilia.
I decided to ask a friend Pavão (he is a great artist) to draw the images in a sequence that I thought would facilitate the understanding of hemophilia, blood and related topics.
- Hemoação was borned! and…it is in 4 languages: Portuguese, English, French and Spanish.
- Hemoação or Hemoaction is a tool to learn playing card games. It ´s funny and simple!
Anyone can use it!
Everybody will learn something new about blood clotting and its disorder such as hemophilia A and B.card-15.jpg,Symbol of the slowness in clotting now solved temporarely by the infusion of factor VIII or IX!
When the patients play and see the images, they learn faster and they can remember better difficult terms.
Symbols such as a turtle for slowness in clotting, or a sink plug for the platelets´action are easy to remember.
The feelings of joy, clarity and self-management in education help people to cope better with hemophilia.
