Home Healthcare

Ubiquitous computer interfaces for everywhere interaction

This activity belongs to the Home Healthcare project within the SITI e-Society program. Its purpose is to study and develop enabling technologies for new everyday IT-based systems from a human-centered perspective with an emphasis on internet-embedded residential and mobile services for the citizen, in particular distributed healthcare. Issues for scientific study in the project include methods for the design of intuitive interfaces for data capture and registration implemented in everyday environments, using things and appliances naturally occuring in the environment, and at the same time providing a high degree of interactivity. The activity is carried out in collaboration with Computer Science, Linköping University. 

Researchers: Magnus Bång LiU/Proxigo, Anders Larsson, Björn Tikkanen et al.
