TCALL Transfer Cluster of Long-Term Care Teaching Facilities

The transfer cluster aims to create a cluster of "academic teaching nursing homes" building a bridge between research, education, and care practice. The goal is not only to facilitate mutual knowledge transfer, but also to enhance the quality of life for people in need of care, improve the quality of care itself, and ultimately improve working conditions in the nursing profession.

ViBe-care

The aim of ViBe-care is to test the suitability of a video-based care assessment and to identify the prerequisites for regular implementation in the outpatient and inpatient sector. Both the reliability and the basic acceptance of video-based care assessments from the perspective of all stakeholders involved will be analysed in comparison to face-to-face assessments.

DigiTechNH: Digital technologies to improve social interaction and participation of people with care and support needs in inpatient long-term care

The DigiTechNH project explored which digital tools can enhance social interaction and participation for residents in long-term care facilities. With the involvement of all stakeholder groups (nursing professionals, care recipients, and their family members and caregivers), various technologies were piloted to examine different usage patterns (e.g., related to gender, age, and/or disabilities).

MVP-STAT: Needs-Based Provision of Medical Care to Nursing Home Residents

The study addressed challenges in medical care provision for people requiring care in long-term care facilities. By linking nursing home data with routine health data, instances of over- and undertreatment were identified. Case reconstructions and expert interviews were used to identify factors for developing needs-appropriate care strategies.

PeBeM

The model program built on the "PeBeM Study," which developed a new instrument for determining staffing levels in long-term care. This instrument incorporates both the composition and qualifications of nursing staff and the needs of care recipients, and was piloted in different facilities in this project.

M-Gender

The "M-Gender" research project piloted a "care bot" intended to reduce the mental burden on relatives providing informal care to family members — that is unpaid, non-professional caregiving. The digital tool was co-developed with affected individuals, researchers, and representatives from associations, self-help groups, and organizations supporting informal caregivers.

Research Cluster "Healthy City Bremen: Interprofessional, Digital, Sustainable"

The "Healthy City Bremen: Interprofessional, Digital, Sustainable" research cluster was established as a cross-institutional research and transfer focus, tackling a future issue of central importance to social development. The cluster examined challenges and potential approaches to solutions in different areas relevant to a healthy city.
