MobileWard (2003-05)

Interaction Design for the Context-Aware Mobile Internet This project is a research project aiming at understanding the potentials of context-awareness in supporting work activities in a hospital ward. The project was initiated as a response to the lack of focus on supporting work activities in context-awareness research. In the project, we studied selected work activities for nurses at a local hospital, and designed and implemented a running prototype of a contextaware mobile electronic patient record called MobileWard. The prototype was evaluated in several studies to assess context-awareness in relation to the work activities of the nurses.
