Technology instead of Nursing Home? Living independently with smart assistance systems
How can modern technologies support older people in living independently in their own homes for as long as possible? This event at the Knowledge Workshop Bielefeld invites seniors, family members, and interested adults to an understandable and illustrative exploration.
Daily assistance, health care, and safety
The focus is on smart assistance systems for self-care, health, safety, and structuring daily life. Among other things, SHARLY, a system developed at Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences, will be presented. The demonstration shows how digital technology can support daily life at home and strengthen social participation.
Experience technology instead of just talking about it
Visitors will gain concrete insights into current developments and can get to know digital assistance firsthand. A VR headset brings technical possibilities to life. It’s not about complicated technical terms, but understandable examples and the question of how technology can enhance well-being in old age.
Senior-friendly and without prior knowledge
The offer is expressly aimed at seniors. No prior knowledge is required. The relaxed atmosphere allows for questions, exchange, and a community experience with other interested parties. This creates space for orientation, encounters, and personal engagement with the future of living.
Accessible Knowledge Workshop
The Knowledge Workshop is reportedly accessible with minimal barriers. There is an elevator, barrier-free restrooms, a tactile guidance system, and adjustable furniture in the workshop rooms. Assistance dogs are welcome. Its central location near Jahnplatz makes it easy to reach by bus and tram. There are disabled parking spaces on Wilhelmstraße opposite the main entrance.
Conclusion: Discovering the future together
Technology instead of nursing home? imparts knowledge, sparks curiosity, and opens a factual view of independent living in old age. Those who want to learn about digital assistance systems, ask questions, and gain new impulses for daily life will experience an informative and communal afternoon here.
