AbstractFinland is one of the fastest ageing countries in the world. At the same time, care personnel working with senior citizens at home care are also getting older. (OECD Economic Surveys: Finland 2020.) People at working age are expected to work longer and retire later, but simultaneously, there is a lack of care personnel. Therefore, the better utilization of technology has been stated (Technology Advisory Board 2021), but the challenges exist to the impacts and integration of technology into the home care contexts. We aim to describe how a national programme called KATI (‘Smart Ageing and Care at Home’) support the integration of new technologies and digital services for older people home care in Finland. The ultimate goal of the programme is a continuing collaborative model of technology-supported ageing and care of older people at home. In this abstract, the focus is on perspectives of home care personnel.Keywords: ageing, home, technology, mixed methods
