Healthy Ageing with the support of modern technologies – that is the guiding topic of our regional living lab ILWiA. To achieve this goal we are operating a showcase for the broad public which is equipped with various technical assistance systems supporting self-determined living and housing in old age. The showcase offers a hands-on experience of technology providing the visitors with different comprehensible use cases. We manage the lab in close collaboration with the administrative district Vorpommern-Greifswald and the non-profit association for living and housing in old age – ILWiA e.V.
