A senior citizen and health app
On the market for around three and a half years and now successfully established in almost 60 German cities, the free health and senior citizens' app "Gut versorgt in ..." is now also available for senior citizens, relatives and residents in Aachen. As a "helping hand", the app covers all areas relating to care and nursing as well as topics relating to healthy and active ageing.
The structure of the app is simple and user-friendly. This is ensured by its tile structure, behind each of which there is a topic block. This is particularly easy to use for older users and users with limited mobility. Even those with little or no digital experience will find the "Gut versorgt in Aachen" app easy to use. This is ensured by various low-barrier functions such as read-aloud, call or voice search functions.
The range of topics covers all aspects of well-cared-for ageing: For example, health, nutrition, fitness, living, finances and care through to leisure and travel topics. Individual articles are even linked to the app address directory and lead directly to local contacts in Aachen, if there is a corresponding offer there. Because the app wants to make it easier for its users to enter the digital age, it provides instructions in the "Digital learning workshop" category to help them find their way around. Among other things, it teaches basic skills in dealing with emails, search engines and social networks. These instructions are published by the Federal Association of Senior Citizens' Organizations (BAGSO), to which the app links. The app also has its own coronavirus tile. Citizens can find important information about the pandemic there at any time.
"The coronavirus pandemic in particular has shown how important digital services are today. If face-to-face events are not possible, if citizens' consultation hours or senior citizen consultations are not taking place, easy-to-use digital solutions are needed. We keep hearing that senior citizens are being excluded from digitalization. That's why we developed the "Well cared for in..." app". A senior citizens and health app that scores points for both its content and its user-friendliness," says Antje Borm-Flammersfeld from Gut versorgt in... GmbH.
The "Gut versorgt in Aachen" app can be downloaded free of charge from the Google and Apple app stores; registration is not necessary. If you need help installing or using the app, you can call the customer service team at Gut versorgt in ... on 05221-994450 from Monday to Friday between 9 am and 4 pm.
