alphastreams

Description

Alphastreams is a mobile health information system that supports customers of pharmacies in everyday situations.

Access to products and services of pharmacies takes usually place at the physical point of sale. But as soon as customers leave, interaction stops and pharmacies have a very limited view on everyday needs and health-relevant behavior of their customers. As a result, services, health support and control of success are restricted.

Therefore, alphastreams has three objectives: to investigate (1) how pharmacies can support customers in everyday situations, (2) what customer needs are and (3) how to design an information systems that supports the interaction between pharmacies and their customers.
