Care Technology

Technology designed to support caregiving activities in institutional or home settings, including robotic systems, monitoring devices, and digital tools that assist care workers and care recipients. Care technology encompasses a broad range of applications from documentation systems and fall detection to social robots and automated health monitoring. In the context of accessibility and aging, care technology raises important considerations around user autonomy, surveillance, dignity, and the balance between safety-oriented features valued by care providers and the lived experience of care recipients.
