Abstract
The use of information and communication technologies (ICT) including safety alarm technologies is increasing. We investigated its influence on service personnel in elderly care. Methods Human impact assessment methodologies have been employed to assess well-being of care personnel. Results Safety alarms are considered useful both for actual care work and the administrative part of the care organisation. Care personnel appeared not fully informed as to technical characteristics and resulting organisational changes. Discussion At individual and work community levels regular human impact assessment of new technologies may stimulate their adoption by the professional carers.
