March 2024 - September 2026 InformaticsElderly are vulnerable in many ways, especially with regard to isolation and involuntary loneliness. Welfare technology can break this isolation. One example of welfare technology is personal security alarms. An issue with this type of alarms is that they increase the risk of isolation as they only work in the users’ home. Meaning that people with reduced physical function and/or cognitive impairments are at risk of becoming isolated due to fear of falling or losing their way. An alternative to these alarms is GPS alarm.

January 2020 - December 2024 DHEARA project aimed to support older adults with long term health problems. The challenge in health- and social care of today is to provide care with a holistic ap-proach to meet each individual´s needs. Health care providers tend to spend more time focusing on the health problem per see, rather than focusing on the individual´s situa-tion as a whole. Less attention is often given to psychological and social needs and dialogue with the older adult. Research has shown that many older adults experience loneliness, exclusion and lack of support, especially during times of illness.
