Supporting Informal Meetings in Hospitals

Ambient intelligence promotes a shift in computing which involves fitting-out the environments with devices to support context-aware applications. Health contexts require special attention. In these, decision making is important at any time and anywhere. In this work we present a context-aware scenario which supports informal meetings in hospitals. With RFID technology it is possible to obtain visualization of information, by just approaching the display. This is apart from, and in addition to, the services that it usually provides (location, presence, access, inventory, etc.). Another feature studied here is, a single interaction using some hardware buttons placed next the display. This makes it possible to control the sequence of notes to comment and the interaction possibilities
