The overall purpose of the project is to design and develop a smart 
mixed reality support system for professional medication management. The 
project aims to contribute to enhance safe and resource-effective 
handling of medication for patients and health professionals. The 
project will introduce new tools of mixed reality for using in clinical 
settings. Moreover, the assessment of this emerging technology from an 
Artificial Intelligent trustworthy view will be explored during the project.

The postdoc is encouraged to bring his or her expertise and will get the 
opportunity to contribute to the development of new intelligent 
interactive systems by using technologies such as Microsoft Hololens 2.

The postdoc will have the opportunity to work in close collaboration
