Caregiving and home care

One of our researchers, Assistant Professor Boštjan Kerbler is one of the co-authors of a book titled : »Caregiving and home care« in which he wrote a chapter about using information and communication technology in home care for the elderly.
Most elderly people wish to stay at home in their familiar environment for as long as possible, where they are able to lead their lives with the best possible quality of life. The possibility to remain in their living environments can be achieved with the help of information and communication technology (ICT) by which home care could be provided remotely and by moving elder-care activities to their homes.
