Focus on digital health in Portugal
In September, the REACT project held a transnational project meeting where the partners finalized the European needs analysis and planned the next steps.
In April the REACT-project once again brought together the partners from Denmark, France, the Netherlands and Portugal to work on the teaching resources to be used to help digitally vulnerable citizens.
It was a productive few days that marked the next phase of the project, where collaborators must test and give feedback on the teaching resources.
About the project
REACT aims to alleviate digital exclusion in rural areas. In the project, a number of partners will explore how to empower elderly and vulnerable citizens with the skills to utilise digital health services.
About the REACT project
The REACT project aims to remedy digital exclusion in rural areas. In the project several international partners (Denmark, France, the Netherlands and Portugal) develop a concept that helps give seniors and other digitally vulnerable citizens the skills to use digital health and welfare services.
The projects means to give the frontline employees, who use the digital offers in their work, tools to train volunteers to help citizens who need it.
First trial in Nordfyn municipality
In the first project period the needs of the various users were investigated, and in Lyon work was thus carried out to develop the concept and the teaching resources. The group came very far and is now in a very exciting phase of the project, where the teaching material is being completed and tested in all four countries.
The very first "guinea pig" is the project's partners in Nordfyn municipality, where the employees in the new digital welfare center have already tested the material in workshops and given feedback.
We look forward to incorporating their comments, which will be used to further develop and improve the materials. After this the employees will be prepared to give workshops with volunteers in the autumn. More on that later in the year.
