Sammanfattning
Welfare technologies, often referred to as «Ambient Assisted Living (AAL)» technologies are
expected to play major roles for future challenges to the overburdened health care systems, and to
achieve public goals to ensure Active Ageing. The purpose of this study has been to elicit health
providers’ assessments of internet connected tablets as a tool and strategy to promote health and
prevent functional decline in older people. The study has an exploratory, descriptive design. Nine
health providers with different backgrounds, consented to participate in focus group interviews. They
suggested several opportunities for AAL technologies, and acknowledged potentials for prevention of
functional decline. They also expressed concerns and challenges about the use of the technologies
when caring for the elderly.
