Notify me, guide me, amaze me: GIANO App features for your smart city

GIANO, the “recommendation” system for a more accessible and inclusive city, based on the citizen’s digital twin, was presented in April during two days dedicated to the Spoke 1 of RAISE in Genoa, at Palazzo Tursi.

In this context, the recommendation consists in sending personalized suggestions, adapted to the characteristics and preferences of citizens, to optimize the experience and use of urban services.

The event, which saw the participation of all the projects within this spoke, coordinated by Michela Spagnuolo (CNR-IMATI), was a valuable moment of discussion on how technology can improve the quality of life in cities, making them more accessible, safe and inclusive for every person, with and without disabilities.

Thanks to the interventions of the participants, the Giano team collected interesting ideas to strengthen the approach and optimize the personalized suggestion model.

In the GIANO app, available for iOS and Android, a dashboard shows wellness indicators and useful suggestions, allowing access to the various functions:
– Notify me: provides personalized information on wellness and cities;
– Guide Me: guides you to the service that best suits your needs;
– Surprise me: suggests city events tailored to you.

The GIANO app is currently in the testing phase and is available only to a selected group of users.

A key aspect of the project is the interaction between biopsychosocial and urban data, which allows, in a single application, to offer targeted suggestions for wellness, mobility and active participation in city life.

The integration of the digital model of the city with that of the citizen is one of the main themes of Spoke 1, to which GIANO is affiliated.

The project GIANO app is one of the winners of the cascade call for Industrial Research and Experimental Development projects in the domains of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, promoted by Spoke 5.

The GIANO consortium is composed of Nextage srl (leader), Fondazione David Chiossone, T-Bridge and Stackhouse.
