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.
Accessible assistive technologies and guidance on what's available will improve 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.
Pilot testing of assistive technologies in various social and health services can lead to more efficient provision of these services and better care for clients, and can provide invaluable first-hand experience with the selection and implementation of suitable smart solutions and local know-how.
Educational activities and subsequent information campaigns focused on assistive technologies raise awareness of these technologies among both professionals and the general public. This can lead to the wider adoption of these technologies and a deeper understanding of their benefits.
Citizens in the South Moravian Region will gain an overview of assistive technologies, learn about their applications, understand how they can benefit those in need, and locate these technologies. The use of modern technologies will be a common part of the social and health care services provided.
The introduction of assistive technologies in municipalities brings several benefits – it helps residents, especially seniors and individuals with disabilities, remain self-sufficient in their home environment for longer, thereby reducing pressure on institutional care capacity. Modern technologies, such as SOS buttons, sensors, and telemedicine solutions, increase the availability and quality of services, enable a faster response to citizens' needs, and facilitate the work of both professional and informal caregivers. At the same time, they promote awareness and prevention, bring innovation and modernization to social and health care in the community, and strengthen its image as a place that actively cares for the quality of life of its residents.
