The DigiCare project is funded by the European Social Fund through the Excellence Initiative of the State Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The project addresses the interactive digitalisation of study materials for nursing subjects including a semantic tutoring system and a chatbot-based interactive support. The project consortium consists of the Junior Research Group CoMSA²t , the Mobile Multimedia Information Systems Group, and the Practical Computer Science Group, all of them at the University of Rostock, the German Centre for Neurodegenerative Diseases Rostock, and the University of Applied Science in Neubrandenburg. The project will continue until 2022.
