| Abstract: | ACTION (Assisting Carers using Telematics Interventions to meet Older
people’s Needs) is an innovative example of an Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) based support service that is currently running in Sweden to help
empower older people with chronic conditions and their family carers in their daily
lives. The service is outlined and the main evaluation findings are presented. Sirpa
explains how ACTION has been of direct benefit in her caring situation. The main
lessons learned over a fourteen year period of implementing ACTION in Sweden are
highlighted, concluding with the main challenges facing researchers, policy makers
and decision makers in the immediate future |
