The role of telecare and assistive technology in supporting older and vulnerable people is a key area of interest to the Connected Practice unit.ย Andrew Eccles, a lecturer at the Glasgow School of Social Work and an associate of Connected Practice has a special interest in telecare and its ethical implications. To support one of Andrew’s projects in this area, we put together a short bibliography on ethics, telecare and assistive technology from the last 5 years.
