Reflexive case studies on conducting technology implementation research in long-term care homes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Technological advancements offer the potential to address healthcare challenges, such as improving residents' quality of life in long-term care homes (LTCHs). However, there is often a mismatch between developed technologies and the actual needs of residents and staff, leading to poor adoption. Researchers conducting research on developing and implementing technologies in LTCHs face unique challenges. Understanding these challenges is crucial for enhancing technology adoption and sustainability in LTCHs.

Methods

This qualitative reflection study is about the experiences of two technology implementation projects in British Columbia and Ontario, Canada. Researchers from the Telepresence Robot and MouvMat projects participated in four reflection sessions. Using refle
