DigiRehab – Enabling caregivers to deliver efficient rehabilitation

DigiRehab (Danish SME) aims to enable caregivers – not educated in physical training – to carry out physical training, anticipating that a stronger body will have the effect that the elderlies will have less need of assistance.

DigiRehab is a tablet-based, modular IT-system developed for caregivers, to be used either in nursery homes with residents or in the elderly’s own homes. The caregiver is guided and helped through screenings and training exercises to obtain efficient and effective rehabilitation. 

The primary target group is caregivers and the capacity building of their rehabilitation skills, reducing the stress and care burden in the health-caregiver sector, with a simple ICT tool. Secondary, Digirehab aims to improve the quality of life for elderlies and empowering them to live meaningful, active and independent lives.

Experimenting with the Digirehab solution in AAL SCP gives opportunities to understand new end-user groups, validate and assess long-term market insights, technical barriers and identify industry collaboration partners.

Digirehab aims to explore novel approaches for involving new types of end users in order to co-create and experiment with the solution in a different environment outside of Denmark (public and/or private institutions for elderly, private households, rehabilitation centres, etc.)
