The book investigates digitalisation in care for older people by
giving insight into service users' and professionals' opportunities
to digital agency in the context of European welfare states. With a
focus on service users and providers experiences of digital care,
the contributions address the manifold and often contradictory
consequences of active ageing policies and innovation programmes.
To assess digital agency of older people, ageism and co-creation in
the innovation processes as well the use of digital platforms are
addressed, while care professionals' digital agency is examined
through empirical cases that focus on the interaction between human
and non-human actors in long-term care services, the temporality
and spatiality of care, and the organisational requirements for
successful implementation of digital technologies. From a variety
of conceptual and theoretical viewpoints, the chapters provide a
comprehensive and timely overview of ways to address the phenomena
of ageing and digitalisation. The book provides critical vantage
points to academic readership, health and social care
professionals, policymakers, other stakeholders as well as the
general audience on the effects of digitalisation in care for older
people. "The Open Access version of this book, available at

Smart homes, home automation and ambient-assisted living are terms
used to describe technological systems that enrich our living
environment and provide means to support care, facilitate
well-being and improve comfort. This handbook provides an overview
of the domain from the perspective of health care and technology.
In Part 1, we set out to describe the demographic changes in
society, including ageing and diseases and impairments which lead
to the needs for technological solutions. In Part 2, we describe
the technological solutions, ranging from sensor-based networks,
components, to communication protocols that are used in the design
of smart homes. We also deal will biomedical features which can be
measured and services that can be delivered to end-users as well as
the use of social robots. In Part 3, we present best practices in
the field. These best practices mainly focus on existing projects
in Europe, the USA and Asia, in which people receive help through
dedicated technological solutions being part of the continuum of
the home environment and care.
