MDR reports on healthcare apartments in the Smart Quarter Jena-Lobeda

What could the healthcare of tomorrow look like? MDR investigated this question in a shoot at Jena University Hospital. The focus was on the healthcare apartments in the Smart Quarter Jena-Lobeda, a joint project of Stadtwerke Jena and the Smart City Project Jena.

The apartments offer patients the opportunity to recover before or after treatment in a modern, smart apartment - instead of in a hospital bed. They combine medical care with homely comfort and at the same time make an important contribution to relieving the burden on nursing staff and clinics.

"The health apartments have been almost continuously occupied for two years and show that we have implemented a project with the Smart Quarter Jena-Lobeda that creates real added value for healthcare in our city," explains Mandy Steinbrück, Project Manager of the Smart Quarter Jena-Lobeda at Stadtwerke Jena.

"As the Jena Smart City project, we are proud to be able to make such a visible contribution to the future of healthcare together with our partners. The MDR report clearly shows how technology, quality of life and security of supply can be successfully combined," emphasizes Dorothea Prell, overall project manager of the Smart City Project Jena.
