An upcoming workshop organised by the University of Innsbruck on May 7th 2024 will focus on the technical integration of AAL solutions in care homes and assisted living facilities.

This workshop aims to equip participants with the expertise needed to effectively strategise, implement, and oversee AAL solutions, while navigating the array of challenges – structural, technical, organisational, legal, or ethical – confronting them, from both resident and care staff perspectives. Additionally, the session aims to explore diverse avenues for supporting care staff and residents in adopting technological innovations. Emphasising a practical approach, the workshop aims to surmount barriers hindering the uptake of AAL solutions among care staff and residents.

Primarily tailored for IT staff and facility managers of care/residential homes and assisted living facilities, this workshop aims to fill a gap in addressing the specific needs of this cohort, which has been overlooked in previous events.

With a focus on the practical implementation of AAL solutions and the exchange of experiences in participants’ native language, the workshop seeks to engage stakeholders from Central European regions, including Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and South Tyrol. Held immediately after the AAL practice forum “Smarter Lives,” the workshop leverages synergies with related events to foster a comprehensive dialogue among solution providers, researchers, practitioners, and users.

The participation of solution providers, system integrators and researchers, as well as users from care homes or assisted living facilities, will provide the perfect opportunity for a detailed exchange on the technical integration of solutions into the realities of care facilities and will create added value for all parties.

• The workshop will take place on May 7th 2024 from 14.00-16.30 at Eurac Research, VialDruso 1, I-39100 Bolzano, Italy, and will be entirely conducted in German.
• We look forward to receiving your registration. Please confirm your participation by 23rd April 2024 by e-mail to: sonja.vigl@eurac.edu
