On 27 January 2021 the research project VITA – Virtual Telemedicine Assistance started. It was approved under the Operational Programme Competitiveness and Cohesion 2014–2020 – Strengthening the economy by applying research and innovation, and is 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 project partner is Smart Technologies d.o.o. from Split. The project runs for three years, until 31 December 2023, with a total budget of HRK 5,175,948.18.

The project covers scientific research and the development of a complete, highly innovative collaborative telemedicine platform based on the latest virtual and augmented reality technologies, computer vision and medical devices built on the Internet of Things paradigm, enabling remote consultation, diagnosis and treatment of patients.

The project also plans to hire three new junior researchers. They will work on research and development in virtual and augmented reality, computer vision and artificial intelligence.
