What advantages does digitalization offer in the workplace, especially concerning dementia care? Digital solutions are often discussed in professional settings. digiDEM Bayern also utilizes digital tools. The first webinar in our series on „Digitalization & Dementia“ will highlight the possibilities of digitalization and, using the digiDEM Bayern project as an example, demonstrate how digital solutions can be integrated into the work environment. In addition to the general benefits for daily work, the webinar will address the specific advantages digitalization can bring to dementia care.
Here is the webinar as PDF for download.
Participant Questions and Webinar Team Answers:
Basically, there are various ways your organization can receive support for the financing and implementation of digital projects. If your organization is affiliated with a welfare association, it's worth contacting them. Welfare associations often provide information on funding opportunities for digitalization projects to their member organizations. Furthermore, you can, for example, approach foundations with your project. Information on funding programs can be found on the website of the general public funding database (https://www.foerderdatenbank.de/FDB/DE/Home/home.html). Here you will also find current publications and guides on the topic.
A summary of general, regional, and target-group-specific funding opportunities can also be found on the website of the German Red Cross, for example.https://drk-wohlfahrt.de/sonderseiten/soziale-innovation-digitalisierung/kompetenzzentren-digitalisierung/foerderung-digitalisierung/#c27176).

Dementia and digitalization are at the center of the research project „Bavarian Digital Dementia Register.“ The need for digital solutions, even in the area of dementia, was highlighted like under a magnifying glass during the contact restrictions due to the Corona pandemic.

Digitalization & Dementia: Part 2 – At Home
With the webinar series „Science Watch LIVE,“ we offer an additional service to our monthly newsletter digiDEM Bavaria Science Watch, where we provide scientific findings from dementia research.
Against the backdrop of widespread half-truths and fake news, currently, for example, concerning the new coronavirus, evidence-based science is in demand. It is more important than ever to communicate scientific findings in a way that is understandable to society and to promote an exchange about them. This is what we at the digiDEM Bavaria project team would like to contribute to, now also with digiDEM Bavaria Science Watch LIVE.
