Enhanced care work and safety with real-time actigraphy
The Municipality of Laukaa was involved in a home care project carried out in 2016–2018. Project made it possible to develop home care in the municipalities of Central Finland to be more customer-oriented and cost-effective and with better effectiveness of care. One of the main goals of the project was to increase the time targeted for each patient. During the project, night care was piloted in Laukaa, which has since become established as part of home care. By allowing nurses to work more efficiently, they were able to reduce the need for purchased services. At the same time Vivago-solution was taken into use.

Förbättrad verksamhet och ökad säkerhet med realtids aktigrafi
Laukaa kommun i Finland var engagerad i ett framgångsrikt projekt inom hemsjukvården som genomfördes under 2016–2018. Projektet gjorde det möjligt att utveckla kommunens hemtjänst till att bli mer kundorienterad och kostnadseffektiv med bättre vårdeffektivitet. Ett av projektets primära mål var att öka tillgängligheten hos patienten. Under projektet testade Laukaa vårdinsatserna under nattetid, som sedan dess har blivit en del av hemtjänsten. En effektivare inriktning på personalens arbetstid hos patienterna bidrog till att minska behovet av att köpa in tjänster. Samtidigt infördes Vivago-systemet som en del av projektet.

In our culture, hard work and achievements are appreciated, and people who say they sleep only little are often admired: after all, they have more hours in the day to do things. Sleeping may be seen as laziness, or an extra luxury, something you can manage without. Actually, you manage for a surprisingly short period.

The path to rehabilitation is everyone’s own
The challenges of rehabilitation are the same whether you are recovering from an injury, accident or neurological condition, or whether the activation is needed for ailments due to old age.
