Innovation has helped us before...

Government strategy High Hospital Care Cost for society Low Low Quality of life Home Care/ Independent life High

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 Source: Eurobarometer 2012

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

Care givers 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

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

What have we learned so far Huge investments i research in EU not many reach people that need it RESEARCH TEST/EVALUATE IMPLEMENT SCIENTIFIC PAPERS PROVEN TECHNOLOGY COMMERCIAL SUCCESS Important role for care organisations

The success factors for Robotdalen real life implementation, not a demo environment real care organisations both public and private real users and user groups real-time feed back to developers

Technology is the small part Polices Work processes Regulations Attitudes Training technology everything else

Some examples of technology developed together with Robotdalen

Bestic-assistive eating device Feed yourself while with families or friends Can be controlled by almost any control device; joystick, foot pads, eyes Is AC and battery driven, silent and ultra-portable

Robin, 10-years old

RobCab - Autonomous logistics robot for hospitals In a typical 500 bed Swedish Hospital, frees up an average of 25 nursing personnel from fetching functions

ZoomCamp - a free mind in motion Electric 4-wheel drive that takes you anywhere

Remote Stroke Rehabilitation Post-acute stage of rehabilitation

SEM Glove (Soft Extra Muscle Glove) Extra grip strength

Mollii - 58 electrodes for a life in motion Mollii is used by people with cerebral palsy, stroke, MS, Parkinson s Disease, spinal cord injury and acquired brain damage as well as other diagnoses that lead to motor disabilities

Robot Suit HAL Exoskeleton for neuro rehabilitation

Giraff - brings people together in the care of those living at home.

Summary Technology can help us with the challenge of Ageing Population But care organisations must embrace innovation and be an active part of the innovation process Technology will not be scary, but fun and helpful Ageing Population is a opportunity for great life, innovation and growth Don t kill innovation
