| Annotation | The conceptual valuation framework enables telecare service operators to more effectively engage with the social and psychological issues resulting from telecare technology deployment in the home, and to design and develop appropriate responses as a result. This paper provides a contextual background for the need for sociologically pitched tools that engage with the social and cultural feelings of telecare service users. A conceptual valuation framework is presented for potential development/use. However, it has yet to be extensively tested or verified: the valuation framework needs to be tested and deployed by a telecare service operator. In addressing the social and cultural perspectives of telecare service stakeholders, the paper makes a link between the technologies in the home, the feelings and orientations of service users (e.g. residents, emergency services, wardens) and the telecare service operator.
