Supporting citizen-centered care for seniors - experiences from two Swedish research projects

• The development of information and communication technology (ICT) for citizen-centered care requires insight into concrete problems in care processes as well as an understanding of the goals and values that should guide these. In this retrospective study we return to results from two research projects focusing on the needs of senior citizens and stroke patients. We describe the intersections between health care services, social care services and private services, and analyze these with focus on the needs of independence, continuity and participation. The current state of ICT in relation to the identified needs is also addressed. In conclusion, an increasing number of solutions are available to support senior citizens in different parts of their lives, yet they remain isolated and have limited impact. In order to harness value for senior citizens, it is imperative to continue with multidisciplinary research focusing on socio-technical aspects; addressing technological, organizational, legal and business-related aspects.
