Recently, the InnoRenew CoE sent a letter to the Government of the Republic of Slovenia to draw attention to the significant shortcomings and problems faced by homes for the older adults.

InnoRenew CoE is a partner in the international project “Pilots for Healthy and Active Aging” (Pharaon), funded by the European Commission (GA #857188), which aims to create a truly smart and active life for Europe’s ageing population.

In the Pharaon project, InnoRenew CoE researchers worked closely with six homes for older adults in Slovenian Istria, central Slovenia and Štajerska region. During the project activities, they realised that in Slovenia, homes for the older adults are not adequately equipped in terms of infrastructure to be able to easily install technologies that would ensure the improvement of the health and well-being of residents of homes for the older adults.

This is why they proposed to the Government of the Republic of Slovenia to take measures for the support for investments and increasing the digital competence of staff in homes for the older adults.

You can read more about the proposed measures for improving the health and well-being of residents of homes for the older adults in the article »V domovih bi zdravila in hrano lahko delili roboti«, published in the newspaper Primorske novice.
