The DIANA project was showcased in the digital humanism module during the “Digital Competences @ Parliament” initiative between the Vienna University of Technology, represented by top scientists from the Faculty of Computer Science, and the Austrian Parliament on June 13th. We discussed AI and ethics in the context of care for cognitive impaired elderly.
Project partner Dr. Thomas Muenzer chairs a workshop about DIANA at the Schweizerischen Gesellschaft für Allgemeine Innere Medizin
We met 40 potential Swiss integrators on May 3rd, 2022 to talk sales distribution and presented our DIANA solution live.

In the course of the AIDEM2021 Symposium, the toilet module of DIANA is presented. The event takes place virtually on Oct. 29th 2021 and is about Artificial Intelligence for Prevention & Intervention in Dementia Care.
The work done so far by project partners collecting end-user requirements regarding the DIANA solution was presented to the scientific community and wider community at two events this past month. On September 16, 2021, at EAI GOODTECHS 2021- 7th EAI International Conference on Smart Objects and Technologies for Social Good and at the 3rd Sheldon Conference meeting “Solutions for ageing well at home, in the community, and at work”on October 14. The paper “What do nurses and carers in Portugal wish and need from a digital intelligent assistant for nursing applications” presented at these two events lays out the results of the work done at the beginning of the project to collect the first set of requirements of patients living with acognitive impairment and their carers for the DIANA system.
Last May we held two focus groups to gather expert opinions on how to design effective technology-enabled instructions for people with dementia in the context of toileting. These focus groups took place at the Rey Ardid Rosales Residence in Zaragoza, Spain, and involved a total of 13 healthcare professionals from a variety of backgrounds. The occasion was also seized to gather information on the acceptance of the proposed technology by the healthcare staff, in particular with regard to privacy concerns.
