4. Multidisciplinary and cooperative environment on home care

TELI-project promotes business opportunities in implementing digitalization into the healthcare and well-being solutions and services. Municipal officers have with the help of Häme University of Applied Sciences established real-life piloting environments for enhancing the adoption of the healthcare and well-being sector technology and digitalization.

Company democracy model [10] can be characterized as a multidisciplinary science, as it integrates many management (strategy, leadership, etc.), engineering (process knowledge, innovation), social (human resources, ethos, etc.), financial (marketing, extroversion, etc.), and

The role of digitalization and growing amount of data collected from home and older person himself as a business driver is growing and has to be carefully taken into account in well-being business transition. The opportunities of digitalization have not been understood in full con-

Systems are patient databases; there is all relevant information about customer (basic information like age, gender, medication, etc.).

All relevant information is booked into the system, like changes in the medication, etc. Maintenance of systems and equipment should be provided. It will be absolutely important to arrange answer to inquiries and alarms, if the customer has been, e.g., fallen down or has not been taking necessary medicine. Essential events have to be booked into the system, e.g., if medication has been changed. Persons to answer the alarms may be relatives, municipal service centers, nurses, or even friends. Municipal officer or healthcare units will decide how much support will be provided by the municipality or conjoint municipalities. Medical doctors will decide changes, e.g., medications and other actions in their fields.

Fourteen health and well-being equipment, system, and service companies participated in TELI-project and were partially funding it. New health and well-being solutions including wireless motion detecting, medication dispenser, and INR- and EKG-measuring equipment were piloted in real home environment.

User requirements were gathered from elderly people, nurses, and service people of home care center in municipal areas of Forssa and Hämeenlinna cities. The gathering of data and experiences was executed by students of Häme University of Applied Sciences by the help of researchers and teachers. They had opportunity to learn to use the digital equipment and use later the knowledge in education purposes. Elderly customers did learn not to be afraid of digital equipment. Their mindset became more open toward utilization of digital gadgets in their homes to increase safety. Municipal officers at home care service centers recognized the importance of data to be used in optimized service creation and predicting diseases and dangerous situation at home environment. It is possible to streamline service processes, route logistic, and improve the use of medicine and medical equipment at home visits. It is possible to achieve also savings in home care visits.

The digitalization changes functions and operational processes of well-being and home care. Deployment of new functions and operational processes often needs new type of legislation which creates rules for the co-innovation and operations generated and new business opportunities (government).

Planning of social and healthcare areas influences remarkably on settling and placing of enterprises and prerequisites for operation (e.g., nursing and logistics). Health care 4.0 (Industrial Internet, Industry 4.0) enables functional optimization of entire value network. Collected data from the whole value network can be used for purposes of functional development or predicting diseases. New entrepreneurship and new digital services can be created through digitalization activities.

The cooperation between the government, enterprises, and universities is essential to succeed in coevolution when building up cumulative competence in creation of solutions for home care
