Assistive technologies in the South Moravian Region

At JINAG, our goal is to expand assistive technologies into the social and health services of the South Moravian Region, easing the lives of seniors and individuals with disabilities in their home environments, and supporting services that facilitate home-based living. We aim for assistive technologies to be accessible in the South Moravian Region, ensuring that both individuals and caregiving organizations are aware of them and incorporate them into their practices.

We stay abreast of current trends, research, and development in the field of assistive technologies both in the Czech Republic and abroad. Drawing inspiration from successful practices, we aim to bring examples of excellence to the South Moravian Region. Through our participation in international consortia, we can introduce innovations to the region. Our efforts in raising awareness also involve informing about available technologies and ensuring their accessibility. 

And how do we want to achieve this?

• We are preparing an information environment on the topic of assistive technology
• We are collaborating on the creation of a new teaching subject "assistive technologies in the helping professions"
• Helping services to integrate assistive technology into their practice
• We carry out awareness-raising activities, such as hackathon or popularization events Home is Home: On your own
• We cooperate with the South Moravian Region on systemic support for assistive technologies

Overall, the project brings a significant improvement in the quality of life for the citizens of the South Moravian Region, especially for vulnerable groups, and supports the development of services and modern technologies that respond to the current demographic challenges and needs of the region.

The available assistive technologies will enhance the quality of life for people with disabilities and seniors. People will have better access to tools that will help them maintain their self-sufficiency and independence, which can greatly improve their daily lives and reduce their dependence on the care of others.

The project provides valuable resources and information for informal caregivers (family members and other loved ones), which can make it easier for them to care for their loved ones.

Piloting assistive technologies in various social and health services can lead to more efficient delivery of these services and better care for clients. 

Awareness-raising activities and a campaign on assistive technologies raise awareness of these technologies among the professional and lay public. This can lead to a wider use of these technologies and a better understanding of their benefits.
