Collaboration with Hand Hund & Hälsa

Digital therapy animals as a complement to living service dogs

Jessica Svensson has long experience as a social service dog handler, including at Månstorps Ängar in Skåne, and reached out to Wera Welltech herself after seeing that digital companion animals can complement work with living dogs.

– Digital therapy animals are a fantastic complement to the social service dog, since she can't be in many places at once, says Jessica Svensson.
