Periodic Reporting for period 1 - MPGS (A citizen context aware platform to provide mobile public services)

Reporting period: 2015-07-01 to 2015-12-31

Summary of the context and overall objectives of the project

This proposal relates to the necessary evolution of public services, leveraging the potential of ICT technologies, towards users’ increasing expectations about ubiquitous access, ease of use, friendliness, efficiency, security, transparency and participation in government decision making. Public services transformation will foster the interaction of citizens and businesses with public administrations.
Our overall innovation project consists of a user-centric platform for the creation of user experience enhanced mobile public services, in order to improve the provision of public services and foster their utilization by citizens and businesses. The integration of a platform for content delivery to mobile devices, BATTO, and a gamification platform, GAMILEKU, both developed by Deusto Sistemas will contribute to motivate users to utilize public services and participate in government decision making: SMARTLEKU.
The outcome of the project will be the completed and validated GOOD CITIZEN system in real working conditions. After the needed trials in several demonstrator cities, The Good Citizen Project will be ready for commercialization for the interested customers. The final project target is to sign a first sales agreement.
