We gather a team for developing the project so the team members are Designer of the clothes specialised in smart clothing, Principal of the Cardiology rehabilitation Hospital, Head of the department of cardiology in the same hospital, two engineers for the hardware, software and networks (Ruđer Bošković Institute), two engineering students , economist and project manager.

We have been developing smart t shirt for medical uses . We were wondering how to connect the nodes and came up with the idea that Lora could help us a lot and it is a perfect way to do it . While digging through the informations , we found out that we will be first in Croatia who will implement lora technology, so we are head to it. With implementing lora in Opatija , we want to motivate other people to develop similar products which will use lora .
