User-centred technology helps elderly people stay in their own homes for longer

Mobile Care and Safety Oy is involved in the User Centered Technology for Elderly People and Care Givers project run by Finland’s Union for Senior Services and Central Union for the Welfare of the Aged, whose main aims are to improve opportunities to live at home for longer and to facilitate assistance work using technology. The aim of the project is to reinforce the user’s viewpoint in developing technology and taking it into use and to strengthen cooperation between bodies in the field by creating project networks. Much of the work of the project is carried out by piloting existing or promising technologies to achieve functioning, user-centred results for care of the elderly.
