Technology-mediated social care transformations

Subproject 3 envisions to reimagine care relations with the use of technology. In a social care sector where digitalisation is used to primarily enhance productivity and efficiency, the project aims to challenge the status quo and design and insert technology to help with the relational aspects of care. Through a participatory design approach, the researchers will explore how technology can change and reconfigure the relations, roles and resources of the professional caregivers, the care receivers and the network of (potential) informal care providers within a context.
