Project
The goals, technologies and partners of the VITA project, and everything it achieved in three years of research.
The VITA project – Virtual Telemedicine Assistance started on 27 January 2021. It was approved under the Operational Programme Competitiveness and Cohesion 2014–2020 and funded by the European Regional Development Fund. The project holder is the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture (FESB), University of Split, and the partner is Smart Technologies d.o.o. from Split.
The project combined scientific research with the development of a complete, highly innovative collaborative telemedicine platform based on virtual and augmented reality, computer vision and Internet of Things medical devices. The platform enables remote consultation, diagnosis and treatment of patients.
Goals
01
Scientific work in virtual and augmented reality, computer vision and the Internet of Things.
02
Development of a complete collaborative telemedicine platform for remote consultation, diagnosis and treatment.
03
Hiring three junior researchers in virtual and augmented reality, computer vision and artificial intelligence.
Results
A prototype of a modular telemedicine platform was developed: five modules, from the augmented reality interface to the virtual patient, enable remote consultation, diagnosis and treatment, and real-time collaboration between doctors.
Platform modules →Papers in Sensors, Applied Sciences and Engineering Science and Technology, and at the SoftCOM 2021 conference.
All publications →The project was presented to FESB students and to doctors at University Hospital Split – Firule; student projects led to 3 bachelor's and 2 master's theses.
