5 information and lending points in The Hague, 2 cargo bikes with smart aids to go to residents and at least 25 smart aids that were purchased after a successful lending period. The Digiredzaam Den Haag project was completed after 3 years and has delivered many great results. We look back at the most important results and highlights.

The Digiredzaam Den Haag project focused on contributing to a better self-reliance of residents of The Hague. We did this by using smart aids (care technology), such as a hip airbag, medicine dispenser, sleep robot and watch with alarm button. We focused in particular on elderly residents and residents with a disability or chronic illness. The project was carried out together with more than 10 partners: Middin, Schroeder, Xtra, WZH, Respect, Parnassia, Oldael, HVP, Eykenburg, Saffier, Cardia and the municipality of The Hague.

Digitally savvy in numbers

No fewer than 250 residents received information and advice from advisors at the lending points and tried out the aids at home for 3 months.
More than 140 healthcare professionals will be trained in working with healthcare technology in 2023 and 2024.
At more than 65 meetings and activities, more than 3,000 residents of The Hague discussed the use of healthcare technology.
5 information and lending points have been opened in The Hague.
The Wuzzi alarm watch was lent out the most: almost 75 times. This was followed by the Somnox sleep robot (over 50 times), the Compaan senior tablet (over 25 times) and the Wolk hip airbag (almost 25 times).
At least 25 smart tools have been purchased after a successful loan period.
We have given workshops at 5 healthcare providers about the preconditions (vision, support, plan, resources, competencies) to make healthcare future-proof with healthcare innovations (smart tools).

We will continue in 2025

In 2025, we will continue this positive impact together with our partners.

Residents of The Hague can continue to try out and borrow smart aids from several lending points: the experience home, Slim Wonen by Saffier and a lending point at Voorall.
The Technology for Home Explorer has been renewed. This also allows residents to find out online which smart aid suits their situation.
Presentations and demonstrations will continue to be given throughout the city in 2025 to introduce more residents and professionals to smart tools. Check out the meetings near you.
