Many older buildings or apartments are not designed to meet the needs of people with reduced mobility. High thresholds, narrow corridors, steps or inaccessible bathrooms make it difficult for residents to move around freely or leave the house safely.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">These barriers mean that even simple everyday tasks, such as leaving the home or accessing certain rooms, can become major challenges. People who rely on walking aids or wheelchairs are particularly affected, as they are often unable to leave their home independently without help. This severely restricts their independence and increases the risk of social isolation.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In addition, there are financial hurdles: structural measures to make a home barrier-free are often very expensive and complex, which is not a feasible solution for many people. This creates a dilemma in which those affected want to live in their own home but are severely restricted in their mobility and everyday life by the existing barriers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Possible solutions<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To solve this problem, we need a tool that digitizes the admission process in the outpatient and day-care sector and at the same time enables a seamless link to the inpatient sector. This system must facilitate the exchange of information between the areas and ensure that relevant data is available in real time. For example, outpatient and day-care services could be informed immediately when their clients are admitted to the inpatient sector.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">It is also crucial that the tool is compatible with our existing care software. In this way, the relevant data can be transferred directly without the need for duplicate data entry.

One option is to use mobile ramps or flexible doorstep aids that make it possible to overcome height differences, such as steps at the front door or indoors. You could also consider using small, mobile stair aids that make it easier for people to negotiate stairs without the need for costly conversions. These solutions would be significantly cheaper than permanently installed stairlifts and can be used flexibly in different locations.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In addition, electronic assistance systems, such as automatic door openers or simple smart lighting controls, could make everyday life easier by improving access to rooms or making it safer to find your way around the home.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">All of these measures should either be affordable via the care insurance fund or so inexpensive to purchase that they can also be implemented on a limited budget.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8220;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8220;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; custom_padding=&#8220;0px||0px|||&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220; theme_builder_area=&#8220;post_content&#8220;][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8220;3_5,2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8220;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; custom_css_free_form=&#8220;.selector {||  width: 100%;||}&#8220; locked=&#8220;off&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220; theme_builder_area=&#8220;post_content&#8220;][et_pb_column type=&#8220;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8220;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220; theme_builder_area=&#8220;post_content&#8220;][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8220;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8220;4.24.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220; theme_builder_area=&#8220;post_content&#8220;][et_pb_button button_url=&#8220;@ET-DC@eyJkeW5hbWljIjp0cnVlLCJjb250ZW50IjoicG9zdF9saW5rX3VybF9wYWdlIiwic2V0dGluZ3MiOnsicG9zdF9pZCI6IjExMzc3In19@&#8220; button_text=&#8220;Apply here&#8220; button_alignment=&#8220;right&#8220; _builder_version=&#8220;4.27.0&#8243; _dynamic_attributes=&#8220;button_url&#8220; _module_preset=&#8220;default&#8220; custom_button=&#8220;on&#8220; button_text_size=&#8220;20px&#8220; button_text_size_tablet=&#8220;18px&#8220; button_text_size_phone=&#8220;16px&#8220; button_text_size_last_edited=&#8220;on|phone&#8220; button_bg_color_last_edited=&#8220;off|desktop&#8220; global_colors_info=&#8220;{}&#8220; button_bg_color__hover_enabled=&#8220;on|desktop&#8220; button_bg_color__hover=&#8220;#1FD694&#8243; button_bg_enable_color__hover=&#8220;on&#8220; theme_builder_area=&#8220;post_content&#8220;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Homeowners frequently encounter accessibility issues in older buildings, with high thresholds and narrow corridors making movement difficult, especially for wheelchair users.

It enables individual and summary real-time records and overview of the provided social service, aggregation of data for reporting.\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n<h3>The context:<\/h3>\r\nTech goal is to create an app which will help social service providers (CPUK) better, digital, more up-to-date, and faster keeping records of the provision of social services. Currently, information about the provided service is collected in paper form - Geronto housekeepers keep their own records, collect signatures from social service beneficiaries and then submit all papers to the CPUK monthly. After that, the data is processed, and a summary report is made. Also, manual data processing takes a lot of resources from CPUK. The whole monitoring-reporting process set up in this way is not agile enough - a full overview of the provided service is visible only at the end of the month, which greatly reduces the possibility of faster and more up-to-date monitoring and response to possible challenges when providing the service, and it also slows the reporting that CPUK is obliged to do to other stakeholders.\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n<h3>Relevance:<\/h3>\r\n<h2><img class=\"size-medium wp-image-11415 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.innowerft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Challenge-1_p2r-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Bild Challenge 1\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/h2>\r\nA digitized process of monitoring and reporting on the provided social service would greatly reduce the workload of individual CPUK employees, especially the director. A more up-to-date overview of the service provision would also allow optimization and possible quick reactions when the service provision needs to be changed - for example, the assignment of additional Geronto-housekeepers to certain users or in the absence of a certain Geronto-housekeepers, review of individual and total workload of Geronto-housekeepers, review of the situation and comparison with contractual obligations for each individual beneficiary of social services, etc.\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n<h3>Prerequisites and boundary conditions:<\/h3>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li>Low level of digital literacy of Geronto-housekeepers Implement - user-friendly on-boarding process for Geronto-housekeepers, offer training sessions, and provide ongoing tech support to address any challenges or concerns, user friendly GUI\/app.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Procurement of digital tools \u2013 or other devices which will be used to monitor the provision of the social service should be durable, connectable to the internet.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The data to be collected should be easy to manage, processable, searchable and comparable.<\/li>\r\n \t<li><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">Digital solution owner ship<\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\"> and rights to use.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\u00a0\r\n<h3>Possible solutions:<\/h3>\r\nAn application that records social services provision:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>User-friendly interface for digital devices (tablets, mobile phones\u2026).<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The application enables planning and (generates) the weekly schedule of Geronto-housekeepers per user (considering the contracted service depending on the user) and turns it into a weekly work order.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>After each provided service, Geronto-housekeepers register in a few clicks which services, at what time and with which user they provided the service.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>After the Geronto-housekeepers record the provision of the service, users can confirm and sign on the spot which service they received.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The collected and signed data are automatically stored online and are searchable - they can be easily selected by different categories like user, type of service provided, date, Geronto-housekeeper that provided the service, etc.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The application can also generate (local or online) summary data according to the previously mentioned categories (e.g., total time of service duration for one user or overall, type of service provided, etc.).<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\u00a0\r\n<h3>Excluded technologies:<\/h3>\r\nExpensive, hard to use, close environments.\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n<h3>Existing technologies \/ system to integrate the solution:<\/h3>\r\nCPUK uses basic digital solutions - MS Windows, MS Office, collaborative tools - there are no restrictions, but digital solutions and the environment (cloud or local) should be simple and cheap.\r\n\r\n\u00a0\r\n<h3>What else do we need to know?<\/h3>\r\nConsidering that the user's personal data is collected, the solution should also include ways to protect personal data.","_et_gb_content_width":"","content-type":"","inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[51],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13307","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-innoclusion-challenges"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>18 - Accessibility in the home - innoWerft<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.innowerft.com\/en\/06-prevent-falls-strengthen-sense-of-safety-3\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"18 - Accessibility in the home - innoWerft\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Homeowners frequently encounter accessibility issues in older buildings, with high thresholds and narrow corridors making movement difficult, especially for wheelchair users.
