Final Degree Project - Application for mobile devices to care for children with autism who are lost

  • Coordination: Maria Ferré Bergadà (maria.ferre@urv.cat)
  • Community organizations: Astafanias Association, Internacional de Policías Tarragona Association (IPA)
  • Summary: Autism, also known as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), although it affects differently, gives rise to communication difficulties. This means that, especially in the case of children in situations where emergency services are involved, circumstances arise that hinder the performance of different bodies. This Service Learning experience was based on supporting the design of an information system that reinforces the protocol of action of emergency services and security forces when children with autism were involved. In the course 2016-17 two students, from the Degree in Computer Engineering and the Degree in Telematics Engineering, designed a web application and a mobile app that facilitates the interaction between these services, the children and their environment, family and tutors.
