Abstract
Hospitalization can be an extremely distressful experience, especially for children. Healthcare institutions are striving to create hospital environments that respond to patient needs and promote their well-being and recovery. The San Raffaele Scientific Institute of Milan has embraced this challenge and through its eServices for Life and Health unit is striving to ideate, develop and deploy eServices in its City of the Future Living Lab, which truly meet user needs and foster innovation. In such a context, an Interactive Totem has been placed in a paediatric ward offering services aimed at educating, entertaining and empowering hospitalized children. This Totem is part of an Internet of Things platform and is being used to understand the impact of these services, achieve their fine-tuning with the collaboration of children, and at the same time to explore the role of an Internet of Things System in the Living Lab process.
住院治疗可能是一种极其痛苦的经历,尤其是对儿童而言。医疗机构正在努力创造能够满足患者需求并促进其健康和康复的医院环境。米兰圣拉斐尔科学研究所(San Raffaele Scientific Institute of Milan)已经接受了这一挑战,并通过其生命与健康服务部门,努力在其未来城市生活实验室中构思、开发和部署电子服务,真正满足用户需求并促进创新。在这种情况下,在儿科病房放置了一个互动图腾,提供旨在教育、娱乐和增强住院儿童能力的服务。这个图腾是物联网平台的一部分,被用来理解这些服务的影响,通过孩子们的合作实现他们的微调,同时探索物联网系统在生活实验室过程中的作用。
