Abstract

The possibilities of digital technologies for people with disabilities or the older population are wide-ranging,
but in order for all people to be able to participate in an increasingly „digital world“, it is important to qualify
professionals and organizations so that they are able to support, advise and help with potential risks. The article presents results of a survey among health and social care professionals in seven European countries with
regard to qualification in this domain and introduces the European Union funded project DDSkills. The project
aims to qualify health and social care professionals in areas such as digital Assistive Technologies, Smart Home,
Robotics, Virtual and Augmented Reality and Brain-Computer-Interface, as well as their implementation and
application, in order to support people with disabilities or functional decline to increase their independence
and social participation.
