Telecare - the ethical debate

Telecare - the ethical debate
Telecare offers potential benefits for individual users, including safety and independence. However telecare also has the potential to threaten individual users' privacy, autonomy and control.
Social care and health professionals need to consider a range of ethical issues when supporting an individual in deciding whether to use telecare. These issues need to be considered not only before but also during and after the installation of a telecare service.
