Description: The VGo robot is a robot for telepresence and mobility. Not developed with HHE in mind, but useable for the purpose. It is equipped with a high definition camera, a dedicated videoconferencing system (audio, video, file transfer) and remote control for the camera (tilt and zoom) and the movements of the robot. Dedicated software (for PC and mac computers) to operate the device and its videoconferencing system is included.

Description: Video conferencing has being used in Munich to connect the hospital school with a partner school in Munich. This enabled students with medical needs to attend lessons in subjects that could not be taught in the hospital school because of a lack of resources. The aim of the project was to make it possible for the students to follow lessons, thus making it easier for them to reintegrate into their mainstream schools after they had been dismissed from hospital.

Description: Escaping the confrontation with their illness is a daily concert of children with medical needs. This concern is quite comparable to the behaviour of truancy (the action of staying away from school without good reason). Video games in the ward may, like videotelephony with Skype and FaceTime, be a means for patients in hospital land at home to comfort them. Well chosen conventional videogames, but also specific made didactic games can therefore be powerful aids in HHE.
