Health and welfare technology are expected to help people live independent and healthy lives, including contributing to elderly care. Robots have gained more cognitive functions and improved safety, which makes it possible to use them to provide new types of services. Although care robots have great potential for health and welfare, their application proves challenging. A lack of knowledge is a major barrier to the use of robots in care. This chapter’s authors examine knowledge and knowledge building as a central perspective when introducing, using, and assessing care robots. In their research synopsis, they focus on the micro, meso, and macro levels related to care robot use while unveiling a more systemic view of the issue of its related orientation—a tangible example of the multi-faceted encounter of knowledge and technology. They propose focusing on orientation to care robot use as the continuous co-creative process of introduction to technology use and its familiarization, including the learning of multi-faceted knowledge and skills for its effective use. With this perspective, the authors emphasize the processes and actions that take place among orientation givers and receivers at different levels. The societal-level actors—such as business and industry, public administration, and the non-profit sector, the media, and other stakeholders in the related innovation ecosystem—should not be overlooked.

Nach derzeitigem Stand werden die Mittel des deutschen Gesundheitssystems in einigen Jahren nicht mehr ausreichen, um alle Ansprüche zu decken. Dies macht einen weitreichenden Umbau für die Zukunft unausweichlich. Die Gesundheitsversorgung wird primär auf Langzeitversorgung und den Erhalt vonb estehenden physischen und mentalen Fähigkeiten ausgerichtet werden müssen. Digitale Gesundheitstechnologienscheinene inew ichtigeM öglichkeit in Aussicht zu stellen diesen Umbau voranzutreiben. Auf der Makroebenesind dies vor allen Dingen Anwendungen aus dem E-Health-Bereich, die durch intelligente Vernetzung und Steuerungv on Prozessen Effizienzgewinne erzeugen (Eysenbach 2001;Remmers 2016 S. 7). Auf der Mikroebene des individuellen Handelns stehen Technologien im Vordergrund, die eigenverantwortliches Handeln und den Erhalt bestehender Kompetenzen unterstützen.

Globally, there is an urgent need for solutions that can support our aging populations to live well and reduce the associated economic, social and health burdens. Implementing smart technologies within homes and communities may assist people to live well and ‘age in place’. To date, there has been little consultation with older Australians addressing either the perceived benefits, or the potential social and ethical challenges associated with smart technology use. To address this, we conducted five World Cafés in two Australian states, aiming to capture citizen knowledge about the possibilities and challenges of smart technologies. The participants (n = 84) were aged 55 years and over, English-speaking, and living independently. Grounding our analysis in values-based social science and biomedical ethical principles, we identified the themes reflecting the participants’ understanding, resistance, and acceptance of smart technologies, and the ethical principles, including beneficence, non-maleficence, autonomy, privacy, confidentiality, and justice. Similar to other studies, many of the participants demonstrated cautious and conditional acceptance of smart technologies, while identifying concerns about social isolation, breaches of privacy and confidentiality, surveillance, and stigmatization. Attention to understanding and incorporating the values of older citizens will be important for the acceptance and effectiveness of smart technologies for supporting independent and full lives for older citizens.
