DiTSoW stands for Digital Technologies to support Social Wellbeing of community dwelling older adults in receipt of social care and their carers. Researchers from the University of Hertfordshire, University of Kent and King’s College London have been studying if and how digital technologies are used to support the social wellbeing of older adults and their carers.
The original DiTSoW study set out to explore how digital technologies were being used by older adults and people in social care, and to see if and how this was supporting social wellbeing.
