This paper describes an ICT solution based on an intelligent onboard system which is able to trace the organs inside a medical van during delivery routes to the hospitals, without altering the carriers daily tasks. The intelligent onboard system is able to ensure the safety of the cargo by means of a sensor net-work who permanently evaluates their status. The van understands its environ-ment, including: its location, the temperature and the humidity of the transported organs; and can report incidences instantly via wireless communications to anyone interested. It is a non-intrusive solution which represents a successful experience of using smart environments in a viable way to resolve a real social and healthcare necessity
