title = "Technology and care in Canada",
abstract = "This chapter focuses on policy and practice related to care and technology in Canada. The authors highlight that the federated government structure (a central federal government and thirteen semi-autonomous provincial/territorial governments) results in overlapping jurisdiction over continuing care services, and the lack of a legislated mandate to provide these services means that Canada lacks a national social/long-term care (LTC) {\textquoteleft}system{\textquoteright}. The chapter then describes how technology is harnessed in the delivery of care in Canada, with a focus on four key areas: 1. care management/coordination; 2. smart homes; 3. outdoor tracking; and 4. communication technologies. Recent empirical evidence related to technology and care in Canada is also explored.",
