The Use of Technology to Deliver In-Home Aged Care Services: Mixed Methods Study of Australian Staff Perspectives.

ABSTRACT:

Background

With a global aging population, technology has been proposed as a solution to address the growing demand for services in the in-home aged care sector.

There is a lack of evidence regarding the specific factors affecting technology use in the in-home aged care setting from the perspective of the direct care workforce.

Objective

This study aimed to understand in-home aged care staff members' views of (1) the digital enablement potential of direct in-home care tasks, (2) benefits and drawbacks of technology use, and (3) enablers and barriers for technology use in Australian in-home aged care.
