To Read FurtherVirtual Working Design in a Structurally Weak Region (ViSAAR)
Project Duration: May 2021 - April 2024
The Saarland is particularly affected by structural and demographic changes compared to the rest of Germany. Innovative and sustainable concepts are therefore crucially needed to improve and to increase the competitiveness and the attractiveness of this region as a business location. The focus here lies particularly on digitalisation and virtualisation of the working world as future-oriented structural change requires transferable solutions. To this end, for the individual applications of these new concepts in companies, human-centred and not purely technology-centred scenarios have to be developed and tested for their applicability.
To Read FurtherSupporting Digital Care Processes for the Design of Good Interaction Work (ProDigA)
Laufzeit: April 2020 – März 2023
High-quality care for people with complex neurological diseases, such as stroke or multiple sclerosis, is characterised by intensive exchange between the patient and the service providers involved in the care process. Physical and mental limitations, which can change constantly during the course of the disease, require continuous adaptation of the aids and remedies, the vital medications as well as therapeutic offers and household-related services.
To Read FurtherCross-Sectoral Deployment of Usual Care Workers for Dementia Patients (SEBDem)
Laufzeit: Dezember 2021 - Mai 2022
Dementia patients have a high demand for care, supervision and day structuring. The legislator has reacted to this need in SGB XI with the financing of care services. However, if dementia patients have to undergo a hospital stay and thus come under the legal regulation of SGB V, they cannot currently use care services.

Project Duration: September 2020 – August 2023
Heart failure (CHF) is the most common single diagnosis for hospital admissions and is one of the leading causes of death. The majority of patients are over 65 years of age, and demographic trends and improved survival rates for cardiovascular disease will increase the importance of heart failure as a burden on the health care system in the future. In addition, there is a very high rate of readmissions (rehospitalisation) of these patients. The reduction of readmissions for inpatient treatment is therefore an important task for relieving the burden on the healthcare system. This is where the European project PerHeart comes in: Through the use of information and communication technology (ICT), the health care of HI patients is to be demonstrably improved and the re-hospitalisation rate of those affected significantly reduced.

Project Duration: 2023 – 2027
As part of the project, a centre of excellence for labour research is being established together with 14 industrial and research partners from Saarland and Rhineland-Palatinate. The project is funded by the BMBF programme "Innovations for tomorrow's production, services and work" as part of the funding measure "Regional competence centres for labour research".
To Read FurtherEvaluation of the Federal Programme “Local Alliances for People with Dementia“
Laufzeit: September 2021 - Dezember 2024
The topic of dementia is increasingly moving into the focus of the general public hence more and more people are directly or indirectly affected by the disease. Considering the decreasing resources on one hand and the time-consuming care of people with dementia on the other hand, an optimisation of the networking of informal as well as professional help is coming into focus. Significant impulses for innovation are expected through a creative linking of such assistance and by promoting cooperation between professionals, relatives and laypersons.
