3rd Summer School: IT for Physical and Cognitive Disabilities

This summer school lay special emphasis on eHealth solutions for physical and cognitive disabilities. It will bring together IT and Health students that will develop and test solutions related to robotics, graphics, serious games, virtual reality and medical imaging. Learners will attend practical sessions in medical robotics labs and will go on visits to several research centers.

The objectives of this summer school are: considering human factors as part of the inputs to a project to be developed, analysing a problem and identifying the project requirements, selecting the adequate control strategy for each robot project, acquiring basic know-how on technologies involved in the development of virtual environments and serious games, and designing, developing and implementing suitable virtual environment and serious games.

2nd Summer School: IT for a Longer Independent Life

The overall aim of the course is to develop students' skills in designing software applications to support a longer independent life for their users.

1st Summer School: Innovation and Entrepreneurship in eHealth

C4 - Training Seminar: eHealth Teaching Challenges

C5 - Accessibility, Inclusion and Rehabilitation using IT

The main objective of this training seminar is to establish an open exchange dedicated to the presentation and discussion about accessibility, inclusion and rehabilitation using Information Technologies.

The term Information Technologies in context to this conference refers in general to the development, maintenance, and use of computer systems, software, and networks for the processing and distribution of data specific to the community or individual in relation to issues of accessibility, inclusion and/or rehabilitation.


O1 - Innovation and Entrepreneurship in eHealth

The course will introduce students to entrepreneurship, giving positive images of businessmen, and encouraging them to creation and innovation through "action training" approaches. A process for identifying the most motivated students with the view of coaching them from the idea to the creation will be defined.

O2 - IT for a Longer Independent Life

The overall aim of the course is to develop students' skills in designing software applications to support a longer independent life for their users.

O3 - eHealth Applications and Tools

The aim of this eModule is to enable participants to develop applications for mobile devices, e.g. smartphones.

O4 - Robotics for Healthcare

This eModule aims at providing skills and knowledge on robotics and their application in healthcare. Problem based learning and working in multidisciplinary groups methodologies are used in order to achieve a wide and deep knowledge about the use of robot technologies in healthcare. The main goals of the course are the introduction to the methodological bases of robot modelling and control as well as the analysis of the medical requirements of robotics in each health area.

O5 - Graphics and Medical Imaging

Designing an eLearning course for the development of skills (graphics) that make students operative regarding health applications to cope with physical and cognitive disabilities.
