Involvement within the postdoctoral project and projects SOPRANO – Service-oriented Programmable Smart Environments for Older Europeans (FP6, 2007 – 2010, partner dr. Vehovar), ICT and Ageing (EU tender, 2008 – 2009, national coordinator dr. Dolničar) and COST 298: Participation in the Broadband Society (ESF and ARRS, 2005 – 2010, member of the management committee dr. Dolničar) enabled an in-depth and interdiciplinary study of the positive and negative aspects of introducing assistive technologies. The studied aspects influence the (non)acceptance of these technologies among the elderly.

COBISS.SI-ID: 28601949This paper aims to make a contribution to overcoming key constraints on assistive technology uptake in the domains of social care and healthcare for the elderly.
