Expected effects and result

** Denna text är maskinöversatt ** An ethical guide will facilitate ethical considerations when introducing welfare technology. Developed forms of cooperation and structures will mean that solutions are easier to test against real needs and thus become easier to introduce and spread. Measurement methods need to be developed to be able to follow up usability and effects. Social actors also want to measure soft values such as quality of life, independence, security, and participation with quality and comparability in order to be able to prioritize among investments.
