What we are currently working on:
We research the factors that transmit feelings of reassurance and securityin later life and how we can detectperceived changes. We contact elderly people on a daily basis. We are learning how to contribute to a feeling of security at a distance and how to accompany a person through a crisis.
We are developing the appthat asks «how are you?» and informs close relatives. We are buildinga network of partners andco-initiate novel service.
Who we are?
Bonjour was initiated by Christoph Bollinger.
His simple idea: A daily inquiry «how are you?» could work wonders.
We are convinced that coping with everyday life at home is on the threshold of entering a new era. Together, we want to find out how technology, design, and knowledge can contribute to more self-determination, self-assurance, and autonomy at a mature age.
