Azalee Group's A-Cube Facility Hosts Dr. Raphael Olaiya to Explore Innovations in Integrated Care
Dr. Raphael Olaiya visits Azalee Group’s A-Cube to explore integrated care innovations, fostering global collaboration in inclusive elderly and disability care.
Dr. Olaiya, known for his work in virtual reality medical simulation and health data science, engaged with A-Cube's team to explore the facility's unique approach to combining childcare, nursing, and disability services under one roof. This visit provided an opportunity to exchange insights on fostering inclusive communities and leveraging technology in caregiving practices.
A-Cube, inaugurated by Azalee Group in August 2023, serves as a pioneering model for integrated care in Japan. The facility offers a range of services, including the Azalee Nursery School, which emphasizes STEAM education and is Asia's first sensory-inclusive facility certified by KultureCity®. Additionally, the Azalee Rehabilitation Club incorporates innovative tools like the "Muscle Suit," developed in collaboration with Tokyo University of Science, to support elderly mobility and independence. The co-location of these services promotes natural interactions across generations, enhancing community ties and mutual support.
During his visit, Dr. Olaiya observed various programs and participated in discussions on the integration of assistive technologies in care settings. He noted, "A-Cube exemplifies how thoughtful design and innovative practices can create inclusive environments that cater to diverse community needs."
