Project description

NPA countries are facing work absenteeism and early retirement due to poor physical and mental health. Healthcare services that can help employees recover and get back to work, such as occupational therapy/counselling, are currently under strain, difficult to access, expensive and underfunded. Tech2Heal aims to attain an enhanced comprehension of the reasons behind both absenteeism and early retirement due to poor well-being. A combination of qualitative/quantitative methods and ubiquitous technology to monitor work-life will be used. Pilots will be implemented to validate solutions. The project's ultimate goals are to help employees/self-employees to gain awareness to live healthier for longer; and propose suitable changes to work/health policies.

Project results

Teach2Heal aims to design and test several solutions in its pilots, so at least one validated solution will be taken up or scaled by one organisation at the end of the project. The project also aims to create and validate digital solutions and have at least 10 users per year at the end of the project for one of these solutions. e.g. 2 or 3 user organisations and/or 10 individual users.
