Focusing on the design phase and building a solid system architecture is crucial for the success of a product. The aim of the eSticky project is to support people with memory problems, so that they can maintain their autonomy of life. In order to develop a functional and safe device, it is of primary importance to conceive a strong and robust hardware structure that can ensure the operation of the device. Another element to be developed with extreme attention is the software platform, which makes device activity possible.

The technology chosen to design the digital post-it is User Friendly.

This solution offers an immediate and simplified interface with intuitive operation, thus involving the user; in this project it is necessary to enhance the simplicity of the device since it must represent a help for those who use it, and must not generate confusion or further problems. ESticky technology chooses the user-friendly navigation mode with the aim of being an efficient tool: from minimalist and captivating aesthetics to error reporting with easily understandable visual language.

The European project Digi-Sporting: A new step towards digital transformation through sports science (2019-1-ES01-KA203-065505) held its second Translational Project Meeting, between all the partners. Due to the Corona-Virus world crisis, the meeting was held Online.

The meeting was initially scheduled for May 7 in Cyprus. Nevertheless, due to the current situation, which makes it impossible to hold meetings and travel, the consortium has quickly adjusted to an Online version, on the same date.

The meeting was successful and the next steps of the project were discussed and defined.

Please stay tuned for the project’s website, coming in the next weeks. In the website the first result of the project will be published, a guide to the application of new technologies and the needs of professionals in clubs and academies.

Recall that the objective of this project is to reduce the distance between technology and sports clubs, providing tools that allow knowing the possibilities offered by new technologies for their work, their accessibility, and offering training resources to improve their adaptation.

With the health emergency, the traditional kick off meeting was held online thanks to the Skype platform! 

The seven partners involved in the creation of eSticky, despite the difficulties, carry out the project that helps people with memory disorders to remember.

E-Sticky, in fact, is proposed as an innovative product; the ambition is to become a point of reference in the European context. During this first meeting, the work areas of the various partners were defined and the objectives to be achieved were identified.

The project is ambitious and involves various processes including the management part, industrial design, user involvement, etc.

The protagonists of the project, with the lead company HICS, come from different sectors and will contribute through a stimulating collaboration to the realization of the project.
