Description
This research identifies the affordances of technology in aged care from the perspectives of senior managers. Interviews with Executives and Directors in a large aged care provider, an aged care industry body, and an aged care technology developer revealed the numerous ways in which technology shapes the aged care work environment. The findings suggest that government, aged care organisations, and technology providers need to balance the efficiencies of technology adoption with the humanistic nature of aged care work.
