2016 J. Artur Serrano2The context of welfare technologyIncreased price of treatment and expectations of a better care

Ageing population From 2010 to 2060, population aged over 65 as a proportion of the working population will almost double (one older person for every four workers to one for every two).Increased tax or higher pension age in order to support their elders [EPRS 2013]

2010 2060More chronic care Less human resourcesUnfavourable social structures

Pressure in care delivery institutions

Between 2015 and 2050, the proportion of the world's population over 60 years old will nearly double, from 12% to 22% [WHO 2015]

Welfare technology2016 J. Artur Serrano3Welfare: [oxford dictionary]

Statutory procedure or social effort designed to promote the basic physical and material well-being of people in need

2016 J. Artur Serrano4Norwegian report Innovation in careNOU 2011:11 "Innovasjon i omsorg"

It primarily means technological assistance which aims at improving the safety, security, social participation, mobility and physical and cultural activity, and at strengthening the ability of individuals to fend for themselves in everyday life despite illness, and social, mental or physical impairment or disability. Welfare technology

2016 J. Artur Serrano5Welfare technology can also act as support to families and otherwise help to improve availability, resource utilization and quality of service provision.Welfare Technological solutions in many cases can prevent the need for services or institutionalization.

[Helsedirektoratet 2014] Solutions for people with chronic diseases/disorders, persons in need of rehabilitation and maintenance of mobility, children/youth with disabilities, etc.

Lack of adoption2016 J. Artur SerranoIts about PEOPLEWho are our users?Do not loose focus on the users.

In Telemedicine/Telehealth: clinicians they must see the value of technology and it cannot disrupt their practice

Persuasion vs. diffusionThe problemFocus has been: technology featuresEconomical benefitsBut: First, advantages for users are the crucial determinant of the speed of adoption of technology in healthcare. [Zanaboni, P. 2013]The threatA lot of the focus on policy and directivesMore evidence-based researchFragmented market. Technology not yet ready

In Welfare technology:frail people, ill or impaired caregivers must also see the value

Smart home failed because profit was the focus - fragmented marketWelfare technology has a threat as: the state control away from science and research Everett M. Rogers (March 6, 1931 October 21, 2004) was a communication scholar, sociologist, writer, and teacher. He originated the diffusion of innovations theory and introduced the term early adopter.

The following are the Dep. of Health's definitions of the various terms used in this topic area (RSM web site):

Telecare service from user to responder: environmental monitoring such as fire, flood, fit and falls in order to ensure appropriate responsesTelehealth patient to clinician: vital signs and general condition monitoring. E.g. blood pressure, weight, mental & physical state monitoring as an aid to treatment of congestive heart failureTelemedicine clinician to clinician: seeking expert advice such as a GP consulting a dermatologisteHealth all the above

2016 J. Artur Serrano10Some historyAmbient Assisted Living (AAL) provides equipment and automated services that enable citizens to live longer independently and self-determined in their own homes.

This reduces the need for special medical care and nursing services; and it improves the quality of these services, often at lower cost for the society. [AmI 2007]

universAAL is the name of EU project (number 247950) that ran from 2010 to 2014. It produced an open platform for AAL with ideas started in PERSONA1022 June 2016

2016 J. Artur Serrano11Welfare Technology - the beginningIn Denmark, the concept was introduced in spring 2007 by the Ministryof Social Affairs and quickly gained a foothold as a key concept in both public and privateinstitutions [Jordansen 2009]

Welfare Technology, as AAL, is also centred on the elderly and their well-being.

2016 J. Artur Serrano21ParoNational Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (Japan)Our work (Queensland, Australia) suggests that PARO has the potential to positively influence the lives of people with dementia, but further research is required to understand its effect.[Moyle 2013]

PARO is a therapeutic companion robot It has tactile sensors and moves its tail and flippers and opens its eyes when petted.

Artificial intelligence changes the behaviour based on sensors that monitor sound, light, temperature and touch.

Learns and responds to words.

Uses sounds to show emotions such as surprise, happiness, anger and sadness (cry). It produces sounds similar to a real baby seal and is active during the day and asleep at night.

Over 2000 scientific articles published on its use for care

PARO was designed as a baby harp seal because most of us do not have prior negative experiences with a seal, as we may have with other animals such as a dog.Cost: 5000AUD
