The Bavarian Center for Digital Health and Social Care (BZPD) at Kempten University of Applied Sciences pursues a transdisciplinary agenda in the fields of domestic care and digitalisation.
Our primary tasks involve accompanying, designing and evaluating innovative digital technologies that help relieve the burden on those providing care in people’s own homes.
In this context, we not only integrate academic knowledge from various disciplines, but also incorporate knowledge and experiences from practice .
Our research activities are characterised by their applied focus and high scientific standards .
Against this backdrop, we look at various care contexts – ranging from individual households where care is provided by relatives to care in social spaces in the community, or outpatient care for the elderly.

“Currently, 84 % of people needing care in their own home are tended to by relatives and ambulant care services. The lack of professional carers and the increasing number of elderly people will drive the trend even more towards care in people’s own homes. This will make it necessary to harness the potential for digitalisation and the possibilities for local social spaces in order to relieve the burden on both the informal and professional agents involved in providing domestic care. Overall, digitalisation offers promising concepts and approaches in order to master the challenges raised by domestic care and improve the situation in terms of provision.”
