the problem
Older and dependent people need special attention. Due to the ageing population, the current health system faces a challenge of future sustainability. On the other hand, the hospitalization of the elderly and dependent people brings with it problems such as cognitive loss, disorientation, or physical deterioration.
Dependent people and their families face the following problems:
Loneliness of elderly and dependent people living at home.
Fragmentation of the care service, which complicates the care of patients with various problems
Health problems related to hospitalization.
High public cost of such patients.
Low social and remuneration recognition of the caregivers.
the solution
Qida is a Spanish company that provides quality home care for people with dependency, with a double objective: to offer the best service to families who have a dependent person in their care and to enhance the profession of caregiver.
Through its web platform, Qida puts people in need of home care in touch with a database of highly talented, well-trained and paid caregivers.
the sustainable development goals
SDG 3: Health and well-being: Qida works for the health and well-being of the elderly and dependent people.
