Accessibility, rehabilitation, care - topics that are becoming increasingly important in an ageing society. For years, Rehacare in Düsseldorf has been the central meeting place for all those who are concerned with these issues, either professionally or privately. From assistive devices and home adaptations to digital solutions for greater independence, the trade fair showcases the entire range of products and concepts for an inclusive life. As one of the most important events of its kind in Europe, Rehacare brings together manufacturers, service providers, those affected, specialists and relatives every year. The mixture of product show, information offer and networking platform makes the trade fair an indispensable address for the entire industry.
The spectrum at Rehacare is broad: wheelchairs, walking aids, orthoses, prostheses, barrier-free vehicles and conversions, assistance systems for living in old age - the variety of products shows how creative and dynamic the market for rehabilitation technologies is. Particularly exciting: the integration of new technologies such as robotics, artificial intelligence or smart sensor technology, which help to overcome everyday obstacles and enable participation. Not only large companies are represented. Small, highly specialized providers and start-ups in particular are contributing fresh ideas. From intelligent care beds to individually adaptable seat shells - many of the innovations on show are developed in close cooperation with those affected and care staff, which makes them particularly practical. Anyone interested in other events relating to health, care and inclusion will also find what they are looking for at Düsseldorf Trade Fair, which organizes numerous leading international trade fairs in its portfolio.
Barrier-free building, living and traveling is another major topic at Rehacare. Numerous exhibitors will be presenting solutions for adapting homes, vehicles and public buildings. The offer ranges from barrier-free bathroom conversions to wheelchair-accessible motorhomes. The trade fair makes it clear that accessibility is not a niche, but a basic requirement for an inclusive social life. Digital technologies also help to break down barriers. Smart assistance systems, navigation apps for people with visual impairments and voice control systems are increasingly being integrated into everyday life. These developments show that Inclusion is not only being shaped by construction, but also by technology.
In view of demographic change, care is becoming increasingly important. At Rehacare, numerous companies and organizations will be presenting products and concepts designed to make care more efficient and humane. The focus is on intelligent care robots, digital documentation systems and ergonomic aids for caregiving relatives. The trade fair is also dedicated to the qualification of nursing staff. Workshops, lectures and discussion panels will address current topics - from care training and ethical issues in care to innovative care concepts in the home environment.
A basic principle of Rehacare is the promotion of participation and self-determination. People with disabilities should be able to live their lives as independently as possible. Technical aids provide important support for this, but social rethinking is also required. The trade fair therefore sees itself not only as a meeting place for the industry, but also as a platform for political and social discussions. Representatives from associations, self-help groups and interest groups use the opportunity to address current challenges and discuss possible solutions.
With exhibitors and visitors from more than 40 countries, Rehacare is an international meeting place. This diversity not only ensures a broad overview of the global market, but also an exchange of different perspectives on inclusion and rehabilitation. While in some countries the focus is on technological innovations, elsewhere the emphasis is on issues of social integration or access to basic medical care. Rehacare reflects these differences - and promotes dialog on how participation can be improved worldwide.
The topics discussed at REHACARE are more topical than ever. The need for innovative aids, barrier-free living spaces and modern care concepts will continue to increase in the coming years. At the same time, there is a growing awareness that inclusion is not just a question of technical solutions, but also requires a social attitude. REHACARE shows that the industry is on the right track: technologically innovative, socially committed and internationally networked. If you want to get an overview of current developments and future trends in rehabilitation and care, this trade fair is a must.
