Summer School Voice Interaction and Voice Assistants on Health Care

VIVA2019 - The Summer School in the framework of DRESDEN-concept provides young researchers (Master or PhD) with the opportunity to deepen their understanding in the field of voice interaction. The participants will explore user-centered challenges within an interdisciplinary group (computer science, medical informatics, psychology, medicine, nursing science, law, sociology, economy, electronics, communication sciences etc.).
A Design Sprint process will lead all groups eventually to a prototype of a new skill that will be presented in a final public event. The developmental process will be accompanied by modules on social and societal challenges of this technology.

Experience challenging team work within the unique network of scientists and cultural institutions of DRESDEN-concept!
