Online Webinar: Making the future together. Megatrends in medicine and care – and how we can tackle them together.

The project: “Healthy and digital on site”: Digital health education where people need it – visiting, close to everyday life and sustainable.

The Adult Education Association of Baden-Württemberg (Koordinatior) is working together with the Catholic University of Freiburg, the State Institute for Communication Baden-Württemberg (LFK) and the local adult education institutions to strengthen citizens in their digital health skills and promote the social participation of older people. The aim is to establish and maintain low-threshold educational offerings (e.g. online lectures) that help older people to better understand and independently use digital developments in the healthcare sector – e.g. the e-prescription, the electronic patient record or video talk lessons as well as the training of multipliers.

Target group: The lecture series is aimed at interested citizens. The aim is to provide low-threshold information on health-related topics and to raise awareness.

Format: online impulse presentations with moderated discussion and audience questions

Scope: Ten monthly events (from January 2026)

Duration: 18:00 – approx. 19:30 (about 1.5 hours)

Webinar: "Shaping the future together". Megatrends in medicine and care – and how we can tackle them together

Speaker: Prof. Dr. Daniel Buhr, Steinbeis Transfer Center Social and Technical Innovation

Shortages of skilled workers, structural financing problems and demographic change are key challenges for medicine and care – and they will continue to intensify in the face of global megatrends.
This makes it all the more important to actively shape these developments. In this lecture, we will learn how technical and social innovations can contribute to making positive use of the transformation processes. Thus, technical progress also becomes social progress – in the sense of sustainable health care.
