Project overview
Digital transformation of long-term care facilities for older people
Society is aging fast and taking care of the elderly is becoming a challenge. Digital solutions offer support to nursing staff but the potential of digitisation is still underused. The DigiCare4CE project promotes innovative solutions that improve care quality and develops a transnational strategy for the digital transformation of care facilities. The partnership tests the deployment of new technologies in pilot actions and elaborates action plans for their broader implementation.

Roadmap
Our Challenge
Demographic changes: A declining number of caregivers coupled with a rising number of care recipients. There is a need to facilitate the care processes.
Specific problem
There is a gap between the digital capabilities and tools available for the care sector.
Idea
What if we demonstrate a variety of digital solutions to assist long-term care facilities?
Solution
We will present long-term care facility managers the most suitable digital solutions they can use in practice.
Pilot action 1
Testing of digital management and information systems for the organisation of care processes and collaboration with third parties.
Pilot action 2
Testing of various smart devices such as sensors, wearables or panic buttons, as well as mobile apps and virtual reality therapy in the context of care.
Outcome
Creating a pan-European overview of digital tools that facilitate care and can be used beyond the project in all countries.
Proof and Impact
9 strategies and action plans; 2 jointly developed solutions; 2 pilot actions.
