The Besser Leben project is all about one central topic: health - accessible, understandable and in Austrian Sign Language (OEGS).
Health promotion and prevention are important prerequisites for quality of life. Although the health sector has been growing for years, there is still hardly any inclusive health counselling and medicine.
This is why a digital health guide is being developed for Vienna and Lower Austria. It provides an overview of all health and social services for deaf people in the region - with photos and videos in OEGS. Emergency services will also be integrated into the platform. A prevention box with health topics in simple language is also being created.
The aim of the project is to enable deaf people to strengthen their health and improve their well-being. This requires accessible information and offers for preventive healthcare - and this is exactly what we are working on in the Besser Leben project.
The content is developed jointly by deaf and hearing team members. The OEGS content is checked and approved by native signers.
The project is funded by the Vienna Business Agency.
