🎥 In the Norwegian municipality of Trysil, the film "An Easier Everyday Life with Welfare Technology" introduces us to Jone, who uses MEMOplanner, a digital cognitive assistive technology solution, to get structure and overview in his day – helping him be more independent.

He also uses the Emfit epileptic seizure alarm, which detects and alerts caregivers in the event of tonic–clonic seizures. It contributes to increased safety for both Jone and the care staff and reduces the need for continuous supervision.

We also get a brief glimpse of Oscar, who uses both MEMOplanner and MEMO Timer. MEMO Timer helps users stay on track with activities and supports concentration.

👏 Thank you to Trysil kommune municipality for an inspiring video that highlights the real value of welfare technology – with the individual at the centre.

Two insightful days at DATForum – Digital Assistive Technology, Paris 2025! ✨
Tove Christiansson, Johanna Odell, Arvid Schillerström and Stian Pedersen participated at DATEurope’s event earlier this week and it was two valuable days, discussing how digital assistive technology is improving lives today and shaping the future.

Our CEO, Tove Christiansson, took part in the Innovation panel, where she talked about the “sweet spot” for innovation - when technology, funding systems and real-world implementation come together. All three need to align to ensure that innovations actually reach people and deliver the intended impact: enabling independent living and help people stay active and included in society.

She shared an example from our own journey. A few years ago we started the initiative to create a new product range for older adults living with dementia – CARY and Komp. These assistive technology solutions support independence, helping people stay in their homes longer, while also offering valuable digital support for family members and healthcare professionals around them.

As more people live longer, the number of dementia cases is rising. This makes smart digital solutions more important than ever, not just for individuals, but for the entire society.

“It’s clear that innovation in this field will play a big role in meeting the challenges we’re facing, and we are proud to be part of this journey, driving the development forward”, says Tove.

Also happy for our former colleague, Mikael Lundin, who was elected to the DATEurope board. Congratulations!

Autism is a disability that manifests itself differently in different individuals. Someone has a keen eye for detail, someone else is really good at focusing while still someone else has a strong ability to think outside the famous box. The difficulties often lie in mutual social interaction and sensitivity to stress and various sensory impressions.

To make it easier for a person with an autistic diagnosis, there is help available. There are assistive technology that create control and feeling over the day or that help to make oneself understood and to communicate with others. Other aids make everyday life easier and make people more independent and less dependent on others.

It is important to understand everyone’s particular strengths and weaknesses. The right assistive technology at the right time can make a real difference.
