About
ResQ is a research project developed within the opencare Maker in Residence, as part of the opencare European project - “Open Participatory Engagement in Collective Awareness for REdesign of Care Services”.
opencare is an open project, shared with a global community working together to make healthcare and social care accessible to everyone, through working with open-source logic and by promoting ways of enhancing active individual and community participation using a collective intelligence platform.
ResQ is a research project on the refugees behave towards mobile technology.

Beneficiary
Refugees and migrants who need to be informed on their rights in foreign countries and willing to know more about them.
Our solution
