Technology caregiving: collectively re-imagining informal networks of care ︎

Sheahan, J.

AGENET Conference, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice
In recognising the many ways in which care is configured and manifests, technology support in later life has become a common type of informal caregiving that remains misunderstood. Examining the experiences of technology caregiving amongst older adults across Scotland, we highlight  intergenerational and maintenance-based aspect that these emergent forms of informal care provide.
