Many students and graduates are members o f the IEEE Thompson Okanagan Section. IEEE Okanagan Student Branch support s the project presentation.\n\nSee more information here: http://www.okana gan.ieee.ca/signals-slices-an-evening-of-pizza-and-conversation-on-rf-wire less-and-communication-tech-with-rhode-schwarz-at-oc/\n\nDate: Thursday\, August 21\nTime: 3:15 pm – 4:15 pm\nLocation: E303\, Okanagan College\, 1000 K.L.O. Rd.\, Kelowna\, British Columbia V1Y 4X8.\n\nAbstract\n\nThis project demonstrates the outcomes of a Wayfinding App solution designed to improve navigation for patients and visitors at Kelowna General Hospital' s Centennial Building. Students and graduates from UFV\, UBCO\, and OC dev eloped a mobile application prototype in consultation with Interior Health Digital Health professionals that provides clear\, accessible\, and real- time directions within the facility and between designated visitor parking areas. They will demonstrate a release that concentrates on enhancing sma rtphone usability (Android and iPhone). By reducing confusion and making m ovement easier\, the solution aims to create a more welcoming and efficien t hospital experience for its main users—patients and visitors.\n\nPhoto Policy: Please be aware that photography\, video\, and sound recordings w ill occur during the event.
