Professional care services would be unimaginable without modern technology. The use of service robots to provide care-related services is not just an idea, but is already being actively researched at prominent universities. Although Germany remains skeptical about the Asian applications for “artificial people”, intelligent partial solutions are already being employed for many jobs in the elderly care sector.

For the seventh time, the “lebensräume” special display will showcase insights and prospects involving the latest trends in outpatient and stationary care structures, spotlighting this controversial debate. What can, will, must the future of care services look like for the customer? Will it be a future marked by self-aware clients — by more technology and less staff?
As the defining element of the “lebensräume” special display, the field of universal design aims to inform, polarize and spawn discussion and debate. The ideas will be contributed by the exhibitors at the special display, featuring new products, architecture and service concepts.

The core topics of architecture, interior design and innovative product presentations will be supplemented by the following special-focus topics:

• Impulse Technology
• Impulse Energy
• Impulse Ecology and Sustainability
• Impulse Demographics in the Job Market

And the associated forum at the “lebensräume” special display will feature talks by the experts on topics like “Simulating Age”, Optimizing Costs Through the Targeted Use of Heat Energy”, “Emotions Meet Innovations”, “The Challenge of the Demographic Shift and the Implications for Staff and Clients in the Care Service Sector”, “Future Visions: New Models for Stationary Care”.
