Seamless communication between relatives and care staff is crucial for effective care. The DigiBox project by the Akademie f\u00fcr Altersforschung am Haus der Barmherzigkeit (AAF)<\/a> is based on extensive staff surveys and aims to close this communication gap and support the care team by reducing time-consuming requests for information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easy digital access and enriching photo sharing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The DigiBox<\/a> is a user-friendly tablet for seniors that allows residents and their loved ones to effortlessly access weekly appointments, meal plans and even photos. Simple activation using NFC technology and the intuitive user interface make it easy for older generations to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Focus on partnerships and data protection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The project, which is supported by the Arbeiterkammer<\/a>, is the result of a collaboration between the Akademie f\u00fcr Altersforschung<\/a>, OSSI Austria<\/a> und UAS Technikum Wien<\/a>. While OSSI Austria is working on the technical development, UAS Technikum Wien is concentrating on user-friendliness. Data protection is a top priority and careful attention is paid to what information is shared and what is not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outlook for the future<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The goal for 2024 is to develop a prototype that will be tested and further developed at the Haus der Barmherzigkeit. The DigiBox<\/a> will not only make care easier, but also take an important step towards a digitally networked future for older people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
