We put science into practice with our projects.

RED

A pioneering project in Portugal carried out in partnership with the Ministry of Education and four higher education institutions with the aim of producing digital educational resources, scientifically and pedagogically validated. iNOVA Media Lab coordinates the digital creation of interactive digital games, multiple multimedia formats and a web platform, serving the didactic areas of Mathematics, Science and Portuguese.

WellApp - Wellness amplified or appified? Wellness management trending in everyday life digital platforms

WellApp project explores and challenges the socio-cultural trend of the meanings of wellness, self-care and balance in contemporary life that emerge in digital spaces mediated by apps. Based on platform studies, a mixed methodology is used to analyse dynamics and practices reflecting whether the management of wellness is shaped or pushed by the growing offer and adoption of apps towards a platformisation of health.
