TI Green
TI Green is a real time remote management system to monitor electricity consumption and the main environmental parameters, such as the temperature and humidity level, at industrial sites and offices, designed to help companies reduce their energy consumption. Thanks to a web interface, Energy efficiency and the environmental conditions of the sites covered can be monitored. On the basis of the data recorded, an analysis of abnormal situations or malfunctioning in the energy systems can be made, with real time planning of eventual measures for optimising the use of facilities. The installation of the monitoring system does not require special wiring, interruptions of power supply or the presence of specialised personnel, thus ensuring low costs for investment and installation. The monitoring system uses a self-configuring network of sensors/switches, based on the ZigBee standard guaranteeing maximum reliability and safety together with very low installation and management costs.
MyDOCS
In order to respond to the need for dematerialisation, Telecom Italia presents the innovative solution for document management MyDOCS allowing the electronic management of documents and their storage. Provided with the “on demand” mode through the Telecom Italia Data Centers, it is designed to improve efficiency in the management and distribution of documents in their entire corporate lifecycle, to reduce time required for filing and to simplify the search and recovery of information. In particular, the solution ensures that all the documents are memorised in a centralised facility, made available at multiple workstations and displayed or modified only by authorised users. The service is also equipped with the innovative Olitouch device by Olivetti. This is a touch-screen station installed near the multi-function scanner and equipped with software allowing for the acquisition of printed documents, and to scan and index them by the assignment of keywords for easy recovery, to place digital signatures and finally to store them in the centralized archive.

A demo is available for the Avatar application providing instruments to create in a website an Avatar designed to dialogue in natural language (written/spoken) with the visitors to the website and provide them with information.
MyDoctor@Home
This is the remote home assistance service enabling patients to measure their own clinical parameters directly from home and transmit them automatically to the hospital medical unit, on any data network available (ADSL, GPRS/EDGE/UMTS, Wi-Fi, satellite). The system, wholly developed by Telecom Italia, consists of a technological platform and software to be installed on a smartphone or PC. The measurements are taken by portable electromedical devices equipped with a Bluetooth interface and automatically forwarded to the network platform via the mobile or the PC. After authentication, the physicians can gain access to the platform through their own personal computer with an Internet connection, to check from a remote position the status of the treatment and at any time activate any corrective actions required, immediately sending a message to the patient. Similarly, the nursing personnel may, during their visits, send clinical information to the ward physician from the patient’s home, immediately receiving a diagnosis and rapid instruction, thus speeding up diagnostic and intervention time.
In Tilab, the Telecom Italia research labs, studies are under way on the possible evolution of this solution, based on the use of a network of sensors applied to the human body (body sensor network), designed to continuously monitor clinical parameters and transmit them to the platform.
Medical Open
In order to meet the new needs of personnel in General Medicine and primary treatment teams, and in relation to the optimisation of the relationship with patients, Telecom Italia has created an experimental platform with management functions of the processes for requests of certificates and reservation of visits and day treatment services.

The service also provides tools for easy access to roadmaps, the description of the violations and the most common notes, as well as allowing for placing the signature directly on the handheld device. It is also designed for the on-line consultation of Automobile Registry data, the eventual photographic evidence of the violation, the plates of the cars involved in the violation and their association with GPS data in order to avoid subsequent appeals. The service can also be used for the collection and management of a series of information on the area that can be sent to headquarters for immediate intervention (for example, roads in poor condition, flooding, blockage of sewers) and other cultural and landscape information to manage in relation to requests by the public and tourists.
