During the first two years of the project Doris is placed at the Gothenburg Region and the third year she will return to the University of Gothenburg to finish the project. Building on an ethnographic, practice-oriented and explorative case-study approach, Doris investigates how elderly care personnel respond to and interact with welfare technology when it is introduced at their workplaces and what values on welfare and care that guides them.
