Incubating Innovations from Ideas to Practice
Manage episode 399680975 series 2897174
Individuals and companies frequently develop new solutions to make life easier for elders and caregivers, but not all of them have what it takes to actually make the jump from theory to widespread practice.
In Australia, that’s where ARIIA – Aged Care Research & Industry Innovation Australia – comes in. Since 2021, ARIIA has funded a host of projects to test a range of technological innovations, workforce processes, and service delivery models, all with the goal of helping the best solutions scale across the country. The group also translates cutting-edge research into new best practices into easy-to-understand summaries that caregivers can digest and put to use.
This week, ARIIA CEO Reuben Jacob and research director Sue Gordon – also a professor and chair of restorative care at Flinders University in Adelaide, South Australia – join the podcast to discuss the factors that make new ideas stick and spread throughout eldercare, as well as ARIIA’s overall vision for a more empowering care and support system for elders.
