We need to enhance our  knowledge of user-oriented technology that can be instrumental for increasing security and safety, by enabling self-reliance, co-determination and quality of life. 


Research activity

Welfare technology can lessen the need for users to receive services and make it easier to stay and live in one’s own home for a longer period of time. Welfare technology can also provide technological support to relatives and otherwise help improve accessibility, resource utilisation and the quality of services provided.
