Messina (Agenzia Fides) - The Operative Unit of Genetics and Paediatric Immunology of the University of Messina has opened the first medical and scientific web page completely accessible to visually impaired, blind, partially sighted people and children, thanks to a special talking software which describes the web pages giving information on the services offered by the ward. The voice starts a mechanism which changes the tendency of information, didactic multimedia and research.
The web page has five sectors: clinical; laboratory; cultural; utility, booking on-line; children (cartoons with audio-stories). (AP) (23/10/2007 Agenzia Fides; Righe:12; Parole:115)
