Independent living for elderly people
Develop solutions for elderly people that lead to independent living in their own homes. Test solutions with elderly citizens together with Copenhagen Municipality.
Elderly citizens often prefer to stay in their own homes for as long as possible, but care needs can make this challenging. Elderly citizens may experience problems with cooking, dressing, toileting, bathing, and managing medications, among other issues. People over 65 years will typically have age-related impairments, for example, low vision, hard of hearing, weakened muscles or tremors - and this makes the use of everyday products challenging for many elderly citizens.Collaborate with the Copenhagen Municipality on inventing devices or products that help elderly citizens with their needs. The municipality will help you discover the needs of the target audience and connect you with citizens who can test prototypes and give feedback during the process.
