ABSTRACT
Technology plays a major role in care. Against the background of demographic ageing, the use of assistive technologies to support and relieve carers in their work is becoming more and more important. One sector that is increasingly coming into focus is home care by family caregivers. Here, the use of assistive technologies takes place under specific conditions. The article proposes a care-ethical perspective to understand these conditions. It critically discusses issues of power and participation in the negotiation of care that can be associated with the use of technology and outlines a care-ethical perspective on technocare.
