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
![](https://www.interreg-central.eu/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/FotkyFoto_200162504_L.jpg)
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
![](https://www.interreg-central.eu/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/stairs-1131800_1280.jpg)
There is a gap between the digital capabilities and tools available for the care sector.
Idea
![3d rendering cute artificial intelligence robot with empty note](https://www.interreg-central.eu/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/iStock-1037156090-scaled.jpg)
What if we demonstrate a variety of digital solutions to assist long-term care facilities?
Solution
![Magnified Best Service word illustration on white background.](https://www.interreg-central.eu/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/FotkyFoto_12451218_L.jpg)
We will present long-term care facility managers the most suitable digital solutions they can use in practice.
