Innovation Day - Health and Food Management

Don’t like to go to the doctor? Or make shopping lists? I saw two applications at Innovation Day that can help you avoid these things.
Ikerlan was there presenting projects that they created in collaboration with the European Microsoft Innovation Center (EMIC). The Health Management Application (HMA) monitors and manages health conditions of family members at home. The application tracks body temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, ECG and weight and if there is a problem, the data can be sent to a doctor or hospital for evaluation. The Food Management Application suggests menus with recipes and shopping lists suitable for the whole family including consideration for any dietary needs as well as the quantity and expiration dates of the food on hand. Natividad Herrasti showed me both applications and explained how it all works together to make our lives easier.
