What is care? Who gives it?
“The state is the main care providers,” say many Europeans. And sure, the welfare state is a major safety net in Their societies. “Businesses are the main providers” many Americans reply. They have a point too: Their insurance companies, hospitals and clinics - most of These are businesses.
And yet, that’s not the whole story. Care models are failing: The per capita health care expenditure grows faster than GDP. We need to spend an ever-greater part of our resources just to stay well. Under pressure to get care, the edges of society respond by getting creative.
This event is part of OpenCare, a research project on how to make health- and social care accessible for all, open source, privacy-friendly and participatory. We start from the assumption That state and private institutions will be unable to meet the demands for care in the 21st century and That new, blackberries open, participatory, community-based methods are required.
At the Openvillage festival we bring together many opencare projects into a demo of a new health and social care system powered by open source, community-driven solutions.We are interested Already what you are doing, and what we can do together.
