Welfare Technology and Innovation – Keys to Our Future Healthcare Challenges | |
Welfare technology and innovation are vital to address the staffing and skills shortages in the healthcare industry. An industry in which fewer and fewer people now care for a larger and growing aging population. Welfare technologies also ensure an increased sense of independence and a higher quality of life for the people that use them. “In homecare in our municipality, we saw substantial gains from the outset after introducing welfare technology in the form of medicine dispensing robots. We saved thousands of work hours for assistant nurses, who no longer have to attend thousands of patient visits and spend numerous hours in their cars using up litres of fuel”, says David Wiklund, a business developer with a focus on welfare technology who works for the Kramfors municipality in northern Sweden. As we continue to live longer, our society’s healthcare needs are steadily increasing. There will be twice as many people living beyond the age of 80 in Sweden by 2031 – a pattern that looks the same in many other industrialized countries. We need a 30 percent increase in the number of elderly care providers in the same period if our elderly care system is to accommodate such an increase in population.
