The TechCare project aims to promote an ethically sound and practically viable adaptation of assisted living technologies in long term care. To fulfil this objective, the TechCare project will organise workshops and develop educational modules to train carers as evaluators upon the ethical and practical challenges that determine the acceptability of ALTs into home and community care.

VUB-HALL contributes in TechCare as legal and ethical expert, providing input for the development of learning material for the implementation of assisted living technologies, taking into account ethical, legal and social aspects.
