The purpose of this intellectual output was to answer crucial questions and address the project’s objectives in professional ways in cooperation with all the partners. The main goal was to map scientific literature because there are very limited knowledge about how ICT is used in care homes in Turkey and EU, as the statistics shows that most of the care homes (public or private) do not even make use of basic technology, rather they still prefer paper-based, old-fashioned and ineffective methods to operate care homes (World Health Organisation(WHO),2018, Family and Social Affairs Ministry of Turkey Report,2017). Therefore, this output had various elements of innovation where it helped us to learn (expected impacts) how ICT use works in the World, EU and Turkey, what are the benefits, materials, methods, strengths, socio-cultural components, concerns, effect-proven interventions, financial matters and many more. Further, we helped adult educators and professionals in adult education to learn their responsibilities regarding how they can benefit from the best interventions of the World in this strategic literature review. This output also helped our teams to define what works best, how various professionals work together to solve critical issues in care homes, their materials, professional implementations and many more. Therefore, this output served to reach our objectives in meaningful formats by touching many subjects such as ICT-enabled care services including digital health (convergence of digital revolutions in care), electronic health (transfer of health resources and care by electronic means), technology enabled care (TEC) services (the use of telehealth, telecare, telemedicine, telecoaching) and wearable devices (sensor applied to the body which converts physiological signals, e.g. heart rate, movement, other physical signals).
For transferability potential, this outcome was transferable because we published a comprehensive literature review report (75 pages) in this output, which can be transferred to any institution in adult education and care homes sector in digital formats. We published this output’s results in digitally accessible formats (ex.PDF, Word Office etc.) so that significant number of institutions/people will easily access to these results.
There was no difference between what was planned and what was implemented.
