Thin kiosk for touchless computing in Care Homes
During the COVID-19 pandemic, restrictions were imposed on care home residents that made
them unable to enjoy their normal life due to the decrease in human contact and activities.
One of the major impacts of social isolation was the increased loneliness among care home
residents.
Therefore, we have developed the application FISECARE that provides services to care
home users such as online shopping, entertainment, communicating with family and accessing
help, as well as encouraging them to exercise while having fun. This application is designed
to run on a TV and use MotionInput touchless computing.
This enables users to access the internet in an easy and intuitive way, feel
connected to family members and friends via chat and videocalls, and exercise physically and
mentally through fun games while being indoors.
