Inspired on the original idea by plastic artist Alfredo Salomón and using the title Bio-lencia, real-time system merging the knowledge areas of computing and art was created. In this paper we will analyze the piece's characteristics as a software product and the challenges this tipe of products present from a software engineering point of view. We present a classification for unstable media art, highlighting its characteristics as software products, and demonstrate the production of such a piece by using agile development methodology. We particularly discuss the utilization of Extreme Programming, which allowed a correct interaction with the artist and main developer in this particular case. We also emphasize how the characteristics of trustworthiness, strength and rapid response time were of particular importance for the proper evaluation and functioning of the software used in Bio-lencia. Finally, as a part of the conclusions we discuss the problems we had to solve and the lessons we learned during the development of Bio-lencia
Para evaluar el uso potencial de una plataforma web para difundir y aplicar un cuestionario para estimar el riesgo de diabetes tipo 2 en México, se organizó una campaña universitaria de prevención de diabetes y mediante correo electrónico se invitó a la comunidad a visitar la plataforma y contestar el cuestionario FindRisk. Hubo 1549 visitas y realizaron el cuestionario completo el 90.5% (n=1.042). El tiempo promedio para responder el cuestionario y obtener resultados fue de 6 minutos 41 segundos. Paralelamente se realizó una encuesta de conocimientos básicos de diabetes y sobre usabilidad de la plataforma; contestaron esta encuesta 972 personas; 94.4% (n=918) opinó que las preguntas y los resultados de la evaluación son claros, 80% (n=778) consideran que no se necesita auxilio de terceros y 92.3% (n=898) la recomendarían. Como resultado de esta experiencia piloto se puede concluir que el uso de plataformas en línea para evaluar factores de riesgo, como estrategia de prevención de diabetes tipo 2 en México es factible.
