Design of a location–based Ascom/trixbox prototype for context-sensitive communication system in hospitals

Abstract

This Master thesis is based on an ongoing project work titled ―Context-Sensitive systems for mobile communication in hospitals‖ at Norwegian Centre for Integrated care and Telemedicine (NST), University Hospital of North Norway (UNN). The project group is working on context-sensitive communication in hospitals based on Ascom/trixbox experimental (ATE) platform. The ATE based protocol system designed/developed to manage mobile communication interruptions in hospitals presents a new context-sensitive communication system for hospitals. The intended ATE based mobile communication work is based on different context information, in this case it is location information. This Master thesis is intended to provide a motivation for researchers and developers to develop/implement a context-sensitive mobile communication in hospitals.
