AbstractCaring TV® as a research and development programme consisted of four different projects during the years 2005–2013. It was led by the author, Director at Laurea University of Applied Sciences in Finland. When the programme began, the development of eHealth and eWelfare services were just beginning. It was an attempt to show how the integration of different competencies can produce new innovations which will be in use in the future. Action research was selected to be used in carrying out the projects because it connects research and actions. The projects proceed by applying earlier research findings resulting in new outcomes. The findings show how eServices can be developed in cooperation with users, in this case elderly people as clients, and care personnel as providers. This article looks at the projects as study units and ends up in building a synthesis of the research findings.K.E. Raij (2016).
