Guiding Patients in the Hospital

Automated patient guidance in a hospital can be a helpful service for non-hospitalized patients. In fact, they often need to move independently to reach locations where medical cares are provided. The provision of such a guidance service motivated the development of MobiDay, a mobile advisory system for patients. A live user experiment of MobiDay revealed some shortcomings that motivated the design of a new improved version that is illustrated in this paper. The new system focus on the usage of multiple and distributed user interfaces and on the exploitation of a workflow management system.
