Abstract
Healthcare systems are challenged by the rapidly increasing num-ber of older adults requiring services to main-tain at-home independence. Technology, such as ambient sensing, has been identified as one potential solution to address these issues. This study’s aim is twofold: (1) to explore the gener-al perception of older and younger adults about the transformative role technology can play in their health care as they age, and (2) the genera-tion of health solutions in home care.
