Digitale Pflegeanwendungen im Pflegealltag: Zwischen Lösung und neuer Herausforderung

Digital care applications are digital solutions that should improve or stabilise the health of people in need of care and thus maintain their independence. In the future, they are supposed to be increasingly used to cope with the major challenges in geriatric care, especially the shortage of caregivers. Germany has already created the legal framework for embedding digital care applications in standard care. With the help of DiPA, impairments of independence or abilities of the person in need of care are to be reduced and an aggrevation of the need for care is to be counteracted. In order to successfully adopt these applications, health professionals need to be educated about digital solutions in order to reduce their skepticism and promote trust in these solutions.
