The sanitary environment, in particular, has been identified as relevant application field: evidence suggests that inadequate access to information and ineffective communication are proximal causes of errors and other events in patient care; in this context MHOSS explores the use of novel information based approaches to improve information access and to deliver secure, reliable and transparent mobile services.

Main objective of the project is to design and prototype a system infrastructure enabling easy deployment of new mobile services in a hospital environment with a legacy hospital information system. Services we are interested in are not already provided by the legacy system, or they are not provided in a mobile environment.

TEACHER is a research and technological development project designed to prove the technical and practical viability of mixed Virtual Reality (mVR) and affective computing (AC) applied to support children in developing new learning skills and increasing the autonomy and the knowledge of those affected by weak short term memory disability by developing an open interoperable multimodal user platform able to provide advanced 3D audio-visual training content.
The innovative tool TEACHER will allow children to deploy their different abilities by following a specific learning path customised upon each capability and by supporting them also with mobile VR devices; children will develop their knowledge and communication soft skills through a pc based classroom and will continuously apply them thanks to the mobile devices as personal assistance: this will help them to be ready “to live and work in a new Information Society for all”
