This book focuses on home as a site of care, with new technologies and for elderly population. It pulls together findings from research in the social sciences and common
knowledge of the actors themselves, especially stakeholders involved in the design, delivery and receipt of 'care in place'. It offers a wide-ranging discussion of key
issues raised in both the academic and grey literature in relation to new technologies and responsibilities for health care at home. Then, it identifies critical issues arising from
the development of these new care technologies in relation to their design and implementation. It will provide an essential resource for the EU in helping to
avoid expensive and inappropriate development and healthcare systems that do not meet the needs of users and citizens.
