The number of people in need of care increases constantly because of the increasing average age & quantity of people with physical limitations, especially in Europe. Also, there is manpower shortage in the care sector, which is more & more in financial straits. This is the reason why very many seniors will depend on their close relatives for the care needs. These people need help in overcoming the challenges they have to face & their problem is a lack of needed knowledge. The first confrontation with the notion of an intensive support for their family members comes often insidiously (e.g. dementia) or suddenly (e.g. stroke) trough changing live circumstances.

In such situations the relatives need solutions, orientation & support – especially to analyse their own realistic possibilities & abilities. They should have access to all information that will help them to fulfil their role as informal carers; to all special training programs aimed to improving the quality of their nursing.

The innovation of our idea consists of gathering all the needed content for the top 6 care topics distributed to the informal carer on their personal trusted device (TV-set or computer) – depending on their age & preferences. In a 2nd step we have to research in which way the content could be transformed, so that the end user really understands it. With the TV technology we use it is possible to set up own IP-TV-channels & feed them with own content.
