LETITFLOW

Letitflow will provide a architecture and implementation of a workflow platform specialised for elderly workers. In order to facilitate the reuse of the platform on different domains, we will propose a modular architecture with open interfaces that will allow customising the tools for different scenarios, and plug new of intelligence algorithms, different type of user, new HMI, communications protocols. The structure will consist in a mix of N-tier applications concepts and service-oriented architecture over enterprise technologies. This kind of structure helps the project to build a modular, integrated, scalable platform application suite. Some of the modules are standalone, i.e. they are client applications that can run independently.  LetItFLOW will involve users extensively in the requirements analysis (at the beginning), the usability engineering and pre-testing of first prototype (mid of the project) and final evaluation tasks (end of the project).  Involvement of the end users means to investigate users’ needs and wishes addressed to the project objectives.

Objectives

LetItFlow project aims to design and implement a workflow support system to help elderly hospital workers (mainly nurses) to accomplish their daily tasks and to the adaptation to new procedures and methods. The system should enable assistance by means of workers activity monitoring, portable communication tools, alerting services, adapted interaction interfaces or workflow management. It is based on fixed and mobile platforms that interact with the nurses to guide them in their work activities. Different Human-Computer interfaces are considered in order to adapt to the user activities and user profile.

Expected results and impact

The platform aim to have a positive impact in:

  • The LetItFlow tool will alleviate the task of nurses by a better distribution of the workload. Distributed smart monitoring of the team and worker state will enhance collaborative work
  • It will ease a smooth adaptation to changes, the smart assignment and tailoring of tasks, will facilitate the work to nurses, feel more comfortable. The tool also support knowledge transfer in real life scenarios, by putting together young and elderly employees in several works

The project aim to overcome problems related with the foreseen lack of caregivers, by providing tools that ease their daily task.
