Projects – Research and Development

The Viral Cluster Project

A co-funded project by MIUR (Ministry of Education, University and Research)

The project aims to produce a viral aggregator of all existing “Social Innovation” initiatives to maximize their diffusion and support their efficient and sustainable development through a complex system of models, actions and tools.

Project outputs are divided into three macro areas:

Sustainable replicability models: Socio-economic research that, based on existing know-how, studies the dynamics of its development to identify functional variables: these will be the basis for development and replicability actions, including the study of innovative crowdfunding and social impact bond tools;
Replicability and development actions: “social marketing” services aimed at improving the development of the best business ideas and maximizing their replicability and scalability in terms of investment costs.

The actions will be distinguished by:

Viral Marketing: To access the Multi-Channel Platforms to reach all innovation actors and spread the idea of sharing resources and ideas, maximizing its replicability and development;
Training: A service that provides startup skills and knowledge for the development and dissemination of their innovative ideas. Training is based on variables highlighted in the research phase;
Support: Startup support service will be given during the technical, economic and strategic phases necessary to the realization of a project;
Toolkit and informative tools, which, by defining a single point of access for all information needs and computer toolkits, allow the actor of Social Innovation to design and disseminate their own initiative.

DigiTeMa – Digitalization of Massimo Theater in Palermo

A co-funded project by MIUR (Ministry of Education, University and Research) and developed together with University of Palermo and Informamuse

The purpose of the project is to define and implement a chain for the digitization of materials contained in archives and depots of Institutions, Centers and Agencies operating in the field of culture. These subjects, in fact, have historical archives and warehouses, often with great content, coming from the activity they done over the years and thus represent historical memory.

The aim is to digitize the historical memory of Massimo Vittorio Emanuele Theater situated in Palermo and to realize an innovative web-based software infrastructure that allows the digital enjoyment of that archive on mobile devices (smartphones, tablets, etc.. .), fixed stations and holographic installations.
The infrastructure will be utilized by experts and researchers in the cultural heritage field, but also by art lovers, tourists, and those who intend to know the theater and its history.

The Holographic Newsstand consists of a web application based on .NET framework that refers to a database for data storage. The platform architecture provides for all-in-one in which resides on the server machine the application and the database. From an architectural point of view, the Holographic Newsstand provides for the adoption of a MVC model.

From a structural point of view, within the Holographic Unit, two macro-areas can be identified:

a back-end section, dedicated to the content management of the entire holographic newsstand. Qualified users as administrators, publishers, or producers are the only people who have permissions to access that area and administer the content. From this section, it is possible to insert, edit, and delete the entities that are part of the holographic newsstand, e.g. Nodes, Thematic Paths, Physical Paths, Devices, and so on.

a front-end section, whose access is free and which deals with the use of content in relation to the type of content and the location/path/device to which it refers.

Remote Control for Electronic Devices

Co-funded project by Sicilian Administrative Unit in “Accordo di Programma Quadro Young” Notice

Remote Control of Electronic Device with Mobile Solutions and innovative systems of HCI (Human Computer Interaction) was born to strengthen an innovative, low-cost, and highly usable home automation system.

Launched in 2010, it allowed us to design and develop several models of the platform, with a final release made up of various hardware part based on an “open” architecture and software parts that permit to manage your own home from remote.

The hardware platform works thanks to the Arduino boards and the XBee modules: the XBee modules are characterized by a wireless communication. The slave modules are managed by a master module which is linked to either the Ethernet or WiFi connection. Said master module is managed by specific mobile apps whose main features are the ASR and the TTS. Those softwares allow the people to control their houses through simple and intuitive vocal commands.

Apps are available on all major platforms available on the market, from Windows Phone 7 to Android to end up with iOS, with particular attention to Google (Android) placemark that we’ve been targeting for market reasons and flexibility programming language.

My Hospital Assistant

A co-funded project by MIUR (Ministry of Education, University and Research) – PON02a3_00222

In 2012, the Ieeng Solution team was involved with CREI – Computer and Electronics Research Center – in the implementation of My Hospital Assistant project for the development of a platform consisting of a web application developed in Lightswitch and a iOS native app for iPad.

Projects

smartDONOR

SmartDONOR is a platform dedicated to blood donors, whereby it’s possible:

to involve and fidelize the youngest to ensure generational donor replacement;
to spread the culture of planned and rational blood donations, following the real territorial needs, to ensure better flow management of donations;
to ensure in the medium term the self-sufficiency and efficiency of the territorial blood system.

Through smartDONOR, the donor can manage the activities in an autonomously and efficiently way, be always informed and aware, consistenly feel a member of a community and act as an effective means of promoting and raising awareness.

Thanks to smartDONOR association worker can communicate, mange and promote in an instant and effective way. Moreover, he can expand the community of blood donors.

A unique platform, whereby you can:

display on map the locations, the associations’ collection points and the real territory blood needs;
reach the collection points pictured on the map;
plan own blood donations, following the real needs and own blood donations;
connect own plannings with a digital calendar displayed on smartphone;
save the chronology of own blood donations.

My Hospital Community

My Hospital Community is the direct evolution of My Hospital Assistant platform. This substantial update implements a newer, more streamlined and user-friendly interface for inpatients and doctors, a lighter and more responsive system developed in .Net, and deploying messaging service for patients’ relatives thanks to iOS native app for iPad and iPhone.

With My Hospital Community app, the inpatient will be able to see a calendar with the dates of medical examinations, talk to own doctor and fill out questionnaires that will help physicians in treating them.

Pintory

The application, developed for iOS and Android platforms, allows you to keep in time emotions and thoughts through their geolocation on map that can be explored via app. Using Pintory, you can also comment others’ posts.

Key features include geolocated posts (text and photo), real-time post translation and multilingual live interactions (comments).

Furthermore, sponsors, if they want, can use Pintory as a communications network and as tool where diplaying reports amd graphs of their performances.
