The problem

The challenge in daily care

Even in institutions with dedicated teams and regular activities, there are challenges that limit the impact and effectiveness of care. Lack of time, the complexity of planning, the diversity of users' profiles and the difficulty in measuring impact make work more demanding. In addition, involving all users and ensuring constant participation remains a great challenge. Actif is designed to help overcome these barriers and make daily care more effective and impactful.
