#SmartDosing A medication tracking application for nursing staff at hospital wards. Partners: Abo Akademi University (IT Dept.) and University of Turku (Nursing Sciences Dept), Finland.
The purpose of the project is to develop new innovations in medication dispensing in order to allocate resources more efficiently in a holistic way, using smart technologies such as embedded and context-aware systems. The ultimate goal is to develop a medical dispenser system combining a tablet computer and a sensor-enhanced medication tray. This dispenser system is integrated to the patient information system. The principal investigators are professors Johan Lilius (ÅAU, information technology), Sanna Salanterä (UTU, nursing science) and Tapio Salakoski (UTU, information technology).
