Abstract | This paper explores the potential benefits of ICT (Information and communication technologies) from the perspectives of services to the frail elderly and chronic illness sufferers in home and community settings with a particular interest in falls prevention and detection. There is a high incidence of falls amongst the elderly that might be assisted through ICTs which could provide benefits to consumers, families, carers and care provider organisations. It offers a model for prevention and detection of falls of the elderly which are a particularly complex issue and associated with a range of risk factors. Whilst there is increasing interest in ICT for aged and community care as represented by national strategies, pilot projects and early roll-outs, much care in home and community settings remains labour intensive. |
