Abstract
Information Communication Technology (ICT) and Robotic
Technology (RT) are considered as important elements to
make elderly-care sustainable. However, the development
of these technologies and installation into elderly care
services are not straightforward exercises. The issue
becomes more difficult if one wants to apply these
technologies to different countries, as differences in
care practices, policies and cultures could hinder the
acceptance. To overcome these issues, the analysis of
elderly care from the service system perspective is a
promising approach. As part of "Meaningful Technology for
Seniors: Safety, Comfort and Joy (METESE) - Models of
Digital and Human Networks," a
Japanese-Finnish collaborative project, this paper
reports preliminary results on testing the acceptance of
an SNS (Social Networking System) style information /
knowledge sharing system for elderly care facilities in
Japan and Finland.
