“ We saw the Tag With Me platform and we wanted to try that on a hospital site to make the walk more exciting , to make it more interactive , more engaging ”
JENNY BAILEY OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST , NOTTINGHAMSHIRE HEALTHCARE
“ We saw the Tag With Me platform , and we know the work that has been done in Rufford Abbey Country Park , and we wanted to try that on a hospital site , and really use it with our service users and our staff to make the walk more exciting , to make it more interactive , more engaging .”
Bailey admits that “ it ' s not the most exciting walk ” being around a working hospital , but that adding fun facts , a quiz element and searching for tags hidden around the walk all encourage and motivates users to keep moving , or go a little further .
“ We ' ve got service users involved , because there ' s object recognition as part of the walk ,” she says . “ So we ' ve got papier mache models of birds , dinosaurs , hot air balloons created by our service users and staff . They chose the designs and helped produce them so we feel , and they feel , like they are invested in the walk .”
The Smart Sensing Lab team employs AI for object recognition via the phone ’ s camera ,
