    Networked Technologies and Messaging for the Community-Based Care of the Elderly

    This paper examines the use of communication networks and messaging in the community-based care of the elderly over the next decade. This is based on a review of political, economic and social institutional pressures as well as technological trends. These are drawn primarily from studies in the UK and Japan. In examining the support of community-based care of the elderly through network technologies, the two key applications identified are messaging for the coordination of care services and messaging for the transfer of remote monitoring data from sensor systems in the homecare environment. An assessment of the platforms expected to emerge to support these over the next decade is offered. We find the approach of messaging between separate localised systems sharing data through standardised XML schemas with common vocabularies, as proposed by the dominant international standardisation organisations, to be convincing

    Information quality in home care coordination services

    With the increasing use of telecare, attention is being given to the information quality (IQ) issues related to the collection, storage and sharing of user data. This is particularly true for personal information and informal information flows between caregivers and care service providers. We examined data from interviews with developers and users during the pilot stage of a Web and mobile phone accessible database and software application to support carers by providing access to personal care records. The standard IQ dimensions reflect a view in which the supplier passes information to the user. This does not fully reflect the relationship and information flow in care record systems which hold and collect quite personal user data. The three additional IQ dimensions necessary are updateability, interoperability and portability — these form a new category, 'Controllability IQ'
