Human: un progetto europeo
Come migliorare le condizioni di vita dei detenuti
The HUMAN Project aims to
develop and test a set of tools and services to support surgeons
that operate on patients in prison.
The HUMAN Project has enabled the testing of
wireless satellite and WI-FI connections for videoconferencing and teleconsulting within the prison system. It has also involved the development of the Patient's
Clinical Record as well as biomedical devices for acquiring and
analysing biological data. The system has been tested in two European prisons located in Italy and Spain.
MBI's role
MBI's role in the HUMAN Project was to develop, install and monitor the wireless satellite and WI-FI network used to link the sites involved and provide them with videocommunication, teleconsulting and secure transmission of clinical data. Given the unique nature of the application scenario, every effort has been made to develop a guaranteed system for secure and confidential data transmission.
The Partners
