Wellness technology to Lapland

Technology solutions for the needs of social and health sectors in Lapland

Well! project responds to the need for technological competence in the social, health and wellbeing sectors by developing the use of wellbeing technology and related education in Lapland. Technologies such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and various measuring devices and sensors can ease employees’ workload in social and health care, and improve occupational safety and wellbeing at work. Wellbeing technology also brings new opportunities, for example through remote measurement and monitoring, both for social and health care professionals and for clients’ self-care and for supporting informal caregivers.

During the project, FrostBit’s game team will implement solutions using game engine technology that utilize, among other things, VR, artificial intelligence, Metahuman characters, 360 images, and other immersive technologies.
