The success of the MARIO Project continues to be recognised, with MARIO featured in the Spring issue of NUIG's Newsletter, Ollscéala.This newsletter looks back at the past three months of staff news, events, and successes across campus in the National University of Ireland, Galway.
"When MARIO met Mary: At a care home in east Galway, Mary Gannon is helping to test the MARIO robot, which has been developed by staff in the School of Nursing and Midwifery. MARIO is designed to help combat loneliness in old age by enabling elderly people to express themselves creatively and to connect with friends and family. The project, which is coordinated by Professor Dympna Casey, has been named by the European Commission as one of the Top 25 most influential ICT projects for active and healthy ageing."
