Short- and Long-Term Outcomes:
- knowledge of and influence on development of emerging technologies
relevant to healthcare.
- effective demonstrations of new accessible interfaces used with medical
devices.
Objectives:
- to develop and demonstrate approaches for designing medical
diagnostic, therapeutic and procedural equipment that is interoperable,
and that integrates with minimally obtrusive evaluation and interactive
telesupport,
- in collaboration with other involved parties, to participate in
the development of modality translation and telehealth interface systems
and techniques.
Motivation
The initial focus in this project is on approaches
that integrate interactive telesupport and universally usable interfaces,
specifically for medical monitoring and therapeutic technologies. For both projects there
have been two paths of focus: i) development and evaluation projects;
and ii) technical report activities that help identify the current
state of technology in strategic areas.
Project D3.1 / Access to Interoperable Monitoring
and Therapy with Integrated Telesupport
This project develops and demonstrates approaches
for designing medical diagnostic, therapeutic and procedural equipment
that is interoperable, and that integrates with minimally obtrusive
evaluation and interactive telesupport.
Progress
Project
D3.2 / Modality Translation & Cross-Disability Interfaces for Communication
In collaboration with other parties, through
this project the RERC participates in the development
of innovative interfaces for communication that enable multimodal translation
and more universal access telehealth interface systems and techniques.
An example is the V2 standard.
