Abstract
This Section concerns information technology, which involves the application of computers and telecommunication systems for the creation, storage, manipulation, and dissemination of information (20; 184). While advances within information technology could well have been presented in other sections - e.g. clinical monitoring as part of medical technology in the home, or remote shopping under technologies addressed to improving functioning - this area of technological change was singled out because of its anticipated pervasive influence in a wide variety of home care activities (158).
