VIVAIcare at Hauptstadtkongress Berlin
We also speak politics!
This year's Hauptstadtkongress focused on the question of how the future of the healthcare and nursing care sector will continue. Around 4,000 decision-makers from politics, hospitals, the healthcare industry, the medical profession, medical research, nursing care and payers discussed and gave presentations on the most urgent challenges in healthcare.
For us, the three days were a complete success. Besides an excellent pitch, we had the opportunity to present our Vivi live to the Minister of Health of Bavaria, Klaus Holetschek.
In the evening, as a sponsor of the networking evening, we were able to meet many great people and have conversations.

VIVAIcare at MWC2022
The Mobile World Congress, the most important congress for IoT worldwide, finally opened its doors again. It was wonderful to be there live again.
This year we had the honor to present our VIVAIcare system on the big stage of the MWC. To our great pleasure, the topic of healthcare was one of the top topics at the trade fair this year.
This gave us a fresh impression of how the "Elderly Care" scene is positioned globally. We were able to take a look at everything at our leisure and make many contacts. All in all, VIVAIcare is still far ahead of its competitors in the comparison. Of course, this made us all very happy.

DIN Spec 91397 - Guideline for the implementation of digital systems for neighborhood management
The "smart city" or the "neighborhood of the future" will be the standard for the development of new living spaces in just a few years. Larger municipalities are developing their own strategies - but medium-sized cities, smaller municipalities and neighborhoods often face major challenges in implementing these digitization goals. The DIN SPEC 91397 was developed as a support for exactly these municipalities and cities.
VIVAI has worked to ensure that the social sector has found its way into the DIN Spec. In particular, we played a leading role in the applications health and care, assistance systems for people with disabilities, and living and working in the neighborhood.
It was a great experience to be part of such a process and to build an important guide with colleagues.
DIN SPEC 91397 is available free of charge to anyone interested.
