As a complement to Wera Academy, we offer teacher-led training in collaboration with Jessica Svensson at Hand Hund & Hälsa. Jessica has many years of experience with both live therapy dogs and digital therapy animals.
She helps staff in the healthcare and care sector develop a person-centered approach, where the introduction and use of the animals are based on each individual's needs, interests, and reactions.
Digital therapy animals can provide opportunities for contact, companionship, and meaningful activity as a complement in care and support. Robot cats, robot dogs, and robot birds react to touch in different ways, depending on the model. The animal can serve as a starting point for conversation, evoke memories, and offer a moment of closeness.
How the animal is received varies from person to person. Use must therefore be based on each person's wishes, needs, and reactions.
