Kenneth J. Turner · IGI Global eBooks · 2011
The world-wide problem of an ageing population is introduced. This will require older people to be looked after for longer in their own homes. A brief overview is given of care delivery in the home, focusing on computer-based home care as a likely component of future solutions. The challenges faced by home care technology are discussed. It is explained how the Match project (Mobilising Advanced Technologies for Care at Home) is addressing these issues. The philosophy, architecture and approach of this project are discussed.
