SOSU Ostjylland

When technology gets people moving👣💡

At SOSU Østjylland, we use XR tools to help older people with mild dementia and those who need gait training to exercise in a more engaging way.

Gait training is crucial for maintaining independence and preventing falls – and when the training is perceived as meaningful, motivation increases significantly.

In our training room, we combine technology with a safe environment to create:
✨ Greater motivation
✨ A varied training experience
✨ Better learning

At the same time, we are developing the Gait XR teaching manual in close collaboration with trainers and practitioners, who have provided valuable feedback – and it has already received great praise.

Follow us to see how technology and care come together! 💙

Our project is making great progress! 🚀
We’re currently piloting 30 digital, interactive learning materials—and the engagement is already very promising.

Here’s a snapshot from the pilot in Esbjerg 🇩🇰

Participants are actively exploring topics like media literacy, AI awareness, and digital well-being through hands-on activities. The sessions sparked curiosity, critical thinking, and real discussions—exactly the impact we aimed for.

We’re excited to refine the materials based on feedback and continue the journey! ✨

🌟 AI-CARE lancerer ny værktøjskasse til fjernplejere! 🌟

Vi er stolte af at præsentere den helt nye AI-CARE Værktøjskasse, udviklet på baggrund af omfattende forskning i fem europæiske lande. Formålet? At støtte fjernplejere og sundhedspersonale i at bruge kunstig intelligens etisk, sikkert og praksisnært i hverdagen.

Værktøjskassen hjælper plejere med at:
✔️ Forstå hvad AI er – og ikke er – i plejesammenhænge
✔️ Bruge AI-værktøjer til dokumentation, planlægning, overvågning og kommunikation
✔️ Navigere etiske dilemmaer og databeskyttelse
✔️ Opbygge tillid gennem scenariebaseret læring

Udviklet med plejere – for plejere.

Et vigtigt skridt mod en digital sundhedsfremtid, hvor AI styrker menneskecentreret pleje.

👉 Download værktøjskassen her: https://ai-care-project.eu/toolkit/
👉 Tilmeld dig nyhedsbrevet: https://ai-care-project.eu/contact/

Finansieret af Den Europæiske Union.

We are very excited that the 𝐄𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐥 is almost ready!🤩

Cultural Synergy udviklingsbesøg – Sidste dag i Manila

Vi har nu nået den afsluttende dag på et inspirerende og intensivt tredages studiebesøg i Manila, Filippinerne, som led i Cultural Synergy‑partnerskabet.
De første to dage har givet dyb indsigt og værdifulde perspektiver fra lokale aktører om, hvordan meningsfuld kulturel synergi kan styrkes på tværs af landegrænser.

Dag ❶
Vi besøgte Scalabrini Migration Center, Inc., hvor repræsentanter fra uddannelsessektoren, plejesektoren og det politiske niveau deltog i et åbent forum.
Her præsenterede vi Cultural Synergy‑projektet, de foreløbige resultater fra behovsanalysen, de involverede partnerorganisationer samt strukturen i det danske uddannelsessystem.
Sessionen afsluttedes med en åben dialog om mulighederne for kulturel synergi i lyset af den danske regerings beslutning om at rekruttere arbejdskraft fra Filippinerne.

Dag ❷
En dag præget af læring og gensidig udveksling.
Vores første stop var St. Paul University Manila – Centre for Career Development, hvor vi drøftede kulturel synergi, tværkulturel læring og potentielle samarbejdsmuligheder. Besøget blev rundet af med en rundvisning i deres imponerende faciliteter.
Dernæst besøgte vi Milagros Elderly Home Care, en privat institution for ældrepleje. Vi hørte om baggrunden for institutionens etablering, fik en rundvisning og havde fornøjelsen af at deltage i fælles aktiviteter med beboerne – herunder karaoke.

Dag ❸
Besøgte vi GRACES, et offentligt drevet plejecenter for ældre. Her fik vi et dybere indblik i den filippinske omsorgskultur for sårbare ældre borgere uden familieopbakning.
