Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study aimed to analyze the requirements and problems to deploy assistive technologies into the field of caregiving. From the investigation with three sorts of technologies at two care houses and two university hospitals, the results indicated that the gaps between the context in the workplace and the technology use affected on the activities for the users. It was also shown that the praise feedback onto the electric clinical pathways showed a potential to enriching the medical records.
