    "Green Response"

    With the restrictions brought about by the pandemic, we can see that the behaviors of many people have changed for the better. After having been more or less forced to live more sustainably, the Green Response Survey shows that people are keen to keep these habits as we move towards a ‘new normal’. How do we make sure that these new habits stick? Find the answers to these questions and more, in this episode of Essential Talks.

    "Resisting the Resistance"

    Antibiotics are one of the most important types of antibacterial agents for fighting bacterial infections. However, Sir Alexander Fleming – who discovered penicillin, the world's first antibiotic – warned the world that misuse of antibiotics would possibly lead to resistant bacterias. In this episode we look into how wound prevention and skincare can save lives and help in the battle against resistant bacteria.

    "When they can't let you know"

    The pandemic has affected us all, and age has proven to be a distinctive risk factor. Over the past year, the need for change in elderly care has become clear. In this episode, we explore how new and digitized healthcare technology transforms elderly care on a global scale. Specifically regarding continence care. Nurses and care giving relatives share first hand perspectives on how this, rarely spoken about, topic affects both patients and caregivers, and how next generation healthcare technology, such as TENA SmartCare, drastically improves elderly care.

    "The Future is Femtech"

    Women’s health has often been side-lined and seen as a niche area — even though it involves half of the global population. This has led women’s specific conditions to be misdiagnosed and misunderstood. However, tides are changing. Over the last years, female-focused tech startups designed to support women’s health have entered the health care stage. It has become clear – the future is femtech.

    "Ctrl-Alt-Clean"

    As we try to avoid the spread of infections in hospitals, schools, offices and other public places – hand and personal hygiene has never been more important than it is today. People today are more aware of hygiene and we have entered a new normal. When the world allows for travel and socializing again, we need to secure a new hygiene standard. In this episode, we look into how real-time data solutions like Tork EasyCube® creates safer environments while maximizing efficiency and reducing waste by ensuring that no public washroom runs low on hygiene supplies.

    "Zero Time to Waste"

    In 2021, "circularity" is a buzzword and 46 % of people say that they consider the product’s environmental effect when purchasing hygiene products. But to reach this level of awareness has taken time. A lot of modern ideas, such as the circular product Tork PaperCircle, were first introduced at the 1994 Winter Olympic in Lillehammer – now known as the first green games. A reality today, but it took time for the Tork PaperCircle to catch on. Why? What has changed since 1994, and is it possible to nudge people towards a more sustainable thinking?
