Program manager Sylvia Dolkemade gives a number of examples of what the CIV will be doing in the near future: First of all, students of care and welfare will be introduced to the concept of innovation. The students also experience that an innovation does not have to be big to have great significance for the other.
Together with research lecturers, the practor Ad Blom and professionals from the field, the CIV is investigating how support for innovation can be broadened and how technology is perceived as a supporting element in care and welfare. Within the expert classes for students, teachers, clients and professionals, innovations are sought that provide remote guidance to patients and clients and thus have more control over their daily lives. In doing so, the ethical side is not forgotten. Because technological innovations are necessary, but must be carefully researched and implemented.
Practice technology in care and welfare
The aim of the practical training is to start taking for granted support by and with technology for students and teachers, but also for current professionals in care, welfare and rehabilitation. This by also embedding this technology more into everyday work.
