Apps for organizing everyday care (ZDG)

Caring for relatives in need of care means a lot of time and organizational effort. As part of the Future Region Digital Health Berlin/Brandenburg (ZDG) initiative, the Federal Ministry of Health will provide digital solutions (apps) to support the organization of everyday care for a one-year test phase from December 2021.

The Nui & Family Cockpit apps can help caring relatives and those in need of care to organize everyday care. For example, they can share tasks and important information digitally with other members of the caring community. Interested parties from the Berlin/Brandenburg region can now take part in the test. Participation in the test is free of charge.

You can find more information and the participation form at: http://www.zukunftsregion-digitale-gesundheit.de/.

The ZDG office will be happy to answer your questions at info@zdg-bb.de.
