“…[24][25][26] Most of the research carried out in the UK is related to tele-care, while using social care in combination with AT for the well-being of people with dementia is equally popular in the UK and Germany. [27][28][29][30] Additionally, German researchers are also focused on providing assistance to people with dementia through activity monitoring. 31 Simple and specialised mobile phone based AT for setting reminders and prompts for cognitive help to people with dementia are also gaining importance from researchers in the UK and the USA.…”

“…play a vital role in the health of an individual and the healthcare system as a whole (Cotten and Gupta, 2004;Hajli, 2014). In the healthcare industry, the adoption of technology faces many challenges (e.g., lack of time, lack of financial resources, see, Saborowski and Kollak, 2015) and it is interesting to note that the technology lag in this unique industry has been identified long ago (cf. Kaufmann, 1973).…”

Newcastle University ePrints -eprint.ncl.ac.uk Osei-Frimpong K, Wilson A, Lemke F. Patient co-creation activities in healthcare service delivery at the micro level: the influence of online access to healthcare information. ABSTRACTThe healthcare sector has undergone a number of transformations in recent years, partly due to recent advances in technology. This triggered our study to examine patients' desire to seek health information largely driven by increased access via the Internet and the cumulative impacts on value co-creation. We employed a sequential exploratory design involving a phenomenological approach in the qualitative phase, followed by a quantitative survey design to further our understanding of the influence of technology in co-creating value in healthcare at the micro level. Advances in technology have empowered patients to be informed, which enabled them to play an active role in clinical encounters with the doctor. The findings suggest pre-encounter information search impacts positively on improved service engagement and commitment to compliance with medical instructions. It does this by shaping the nature of interactions; enhancing provider-patient orientation; and increasing their involvement in a shared decision-making process. From a theoretical perspective, our study integrates multiple research perspectives (e.g., access to information, online information seeking and knowledge creation, healthcare consultation models, etc.) and extends research on patient integration, participation, and co-creation of value. The conceptualization of value co-creation activities in this study suggests a need for service providers to adopt delivery approaches that would effectively integrate patient resources to co-create value.

“…They conclude by discussing the capacity of older people to resist dehumanization effects by using the device selectively, or not at all. Saborowski and Kollak (2014) focus on care workers as users of assistive technology. Coming from a background in nursing studies, they explore how STS insights can enrich the education of carers, and make care technologies more acceptable for care workers.…”

In this paper, we introduce the themes addressed and the approaches used in this special issue. We start by briefly discussing the state of the art in research and policy making related to science, technology and ageing. We argue that an important gap characterizes this state of the art: current approaches do not consider material practice and materiality to be an inherent part of later life as constituted in contemporary societies. Science and Technology Studies (STS) provide both the theories and methods to address this gap, and thus deploy a theoretical and empirical understanding of science, technology and ageing that captures how later life co-evolves with the practices of technology use and design. We briefly discuss how the articles in the collection each contribute to such an understanding across various locations. We conclude that, together, the contributions specify a perspective on the socio-material constitution of later life that implicates an important agenda for the future study of ageing and gerontechnology innovation.
