Most of our seniors are not ill 2% 6-10% most sick seniors Seniors with extensive medical issues 88-92% Citizens over 65 that need care and social care more than medical care
Government strategy High Hospital Care Cost for society Low Low Quality of life Home Care/ Independent life High
Technology has helped us before...
We are implementing technologies that make our citizens independent help our elderly and disabled to be a active members of the society provide care more efficiently generate growth attract young people to the care sector
Technology gap development Time
Attitude towards robotics in Europe Do you think robotics should be used in elderly care? 4% Yes Do you think robots should be banned from being used in elderly care? 60% Yes
Different views on robotic technology What the researchers see What Japanese see What nurses see
Is this the future of elderly care?
Technology and market acceptance Technology developed for Industry engineers develop for engineers Technology developed for Elderly Care Engineers develop for nurses
We should agree on one thing Technology should never take care of people It should make us independent and help us to take care of each other
Robotteknik och vård Robotteknologi som gör att människor klarar sig själva längre Rikta de värdefulla händerna dit de behövs som mest Avlastar vårdpersonal så att de skall kunna fokusera på vårdandet.
Technology is the small part Polices Work processes Regulations Attitudes Training technology everything else
Acceptance of technologies is the biggest challenge Public opinion Organisation readiness
So what is next Huge investments i research not many products reach people that need it RESEARCH TEST/EVALUATE IMPLEMENT SCIENTIFIC PAPERS PROVEN TECHNOLOGY COMMERCIAL SUCCESS Our scope of operation
Some examples of technology developed together with Robotdalen
