Mobile Interface Features Update

March – 2024 As we are approaching to the end of the project, the demonstration activities performed in Bursa, Turkey during February 2024 have been essential to show how the objectives of TeamAware have been successfully achieved. In this framework, the mobile interface, after the development of new features and functionalities during 2023 (as planned in the last post entitled Mobile Interface Features Update) has been integrated and fine-tuned to work seamlessly and smoothly within the overall TeamAware secure infrastructure, receiving complex data and helping first responders in having an overall understanding of the status of the incident, creating awareness about the plans, actions and potential risks associated with it.

So, the mobile interface becomes a key tool for strengthening the interaction between the Command-and-Control (C2) center and the first responders in place, creating a smooth and secure channel of information.

As responsible for the Mobile Interface (MI), Enide has produced a tool focused on the user experience (UX) to help first responders to access real-time information about the environment (from drone cameras, team members’ health status, position, and tracking, etc) and give them all the information needed to enhance their performance at an emergency.

Today we want to give you an update about the last phase of development and demo phase during the final Demonstration with partners in Bursa, Turkey.

MI Features

AI platform acts as an integration layer between the sensors and the Mobile and AR interfaces. So far, the most notable features of the TeamAware Mobile Interface are:

• Login integration with SSCN (Secure and Standardised Communication Network)

• Map positioning of information extracted from the perception systems

• Full integration of sensor information Video streaming integration with other first responders and cameras.

• Health monitoring of other first responders.

• Using the Audio Notes feature, the users not only can receive information, but they can interact with the control centre by sending voice notes, or by interacting in choosing specific tags according to the situation being addressed.

• Alerts and actions are easily communicated from the CC, with different priorities and details, allowing the first responders access all the details of the plans and orders as they need.

Mobile Interface Demo and next steps

During the Final Demonstration in Bursa, several tests were made demonstrations in which the usability, robustness and level of integration of the Mobile Interface was successfully evaluated, although users given some final suggestions and recommendations to better face the challenges of the tool and entire TeamAware results after the project.

Enide demonstrated MI, where attendees had the possibility to download it on their mobile phones, to experience first-hand the user experience so far.

In conclusion, it has been amazing to work with Teamaware partners in this Horizon 2020 research project: in these 3 years, we have learnt a lot, opinions were shared, relations between companies raised, and at the end every requirement was achieved.
