The PoC front-end will portray user requirements and agreed technical and technological implementation by the end-users requirements defined in WP2. Outcomes of WP2, including the collection of users’ online questionnaires, will be translated into platform requirements and into new Web Interface services. Based on WP2 results, a considerable effort will be made to focus on the user experience to be as close as possible to the end-user of the website. The platform will have a responsive design to allow use from smartphones.
