Six-year-old Lina shows the application with the exercises she did during yesterday's speech therapy for her preschool assistant. A video clip recorded during the therapy captures Lina's communication training, allowing her to repeat the exercises at preschool together with her assistant. This integrated approach aids in further strengthening her communication training.
Once upon a time, there was a society that rapidly digitally transformed. Digital services and tools became an important part of people's lives - in everyday life, work and school. Artificial intelligence came, not just to visit, but to settle down in the society. Who was this new inhabitant and how ethically reliable was it, people asked themselves?
Arcada’s investment in the new learning and research environments is making strong progress in response to the rapid digital development in society. The support from foundations, companies and private persons has been great and thanks to this, the environments have come a long way, some almost to the finish line.
At Arcada, a knowledge centre is emerging, where digital business and service solutions are developed and tested towards the goal of making them safe and accessible to everyone. The centre will be a meeting platform for students, researchers and business representatives, with curiosity and knowledge as keywords.
Arcada introduces digital twins in its research and education to support Finnish industry in the long term towards cost-effective and sustainable solutions.
The new learning environment Arcada Health Tech Hub will be completed in the spring of 2023 thanks to a €25,000 donation from the multi-branch company Algol. The centre will be used primarily by students in occupational therapy and physiotherapy, but will also provide a space for professionals, researchers and companies to come together around health technology solutions.
