    Overview of Project

    Today more and more disabled persons are using Rehabilitation-Technology software products such as environmental control software, alternative communication software, or teaching and training programs. Nevertheless, their actual use is much lower than the actual need. One of the main reasons is the lack of adequate support which ensures the optimum adaptation of the system to the changing user needs at any given time. Today professional support is a complicated and expensive process due to the extensive travel efforts of the support provider.

    RESORT demonstrates solutions to these problems by showing model telematic remote service facilities for Information Technology based Rehabilitation Technology. RESORT establishes a telecommunications link between the client (user of Rehabilitation Technology) and his/her service provider. Whenever support is needed, the user activates his/her remote service software which automatically establishes the necessary link to get multimedia telematic assistance from the service provider.

    RESORT hast not created another singular solution or product but offers a new general method and strategy for making IT-based Rehabilitation Technology more user-friendly, cost effective and market oriented. During the project, RESORT has been demonstrated in combination with already existing SW-applications covering the aspects environmental control, alternative and augmentative communication (RT-system AUTONOMY) and teaching and training (RT-system STEP BY STEP).

    For further further activities after the completion of the EU funded project the "Resort Interest Group" (RIG) has been set up in early 2001.
