9. Ethical values and digitalization

Older people like to live meaningful life at their own home. Clients of home care have selfdetermination about their life and care activities. Living at home has to be the person's own choice. Very often elderly are frail and weak persons who need a lot of help. Generally they have many diseases and disabilities, and caring of them is often challenging and needs complex arrangements and careful planning. Elderly want the right to decide whether or not to use the digital services. It is important to develop solutions for supporting the safety and quality of life of elderly. All services provided to the elderly must be based on client's personal needs with respect of their own autonomy. Home care professionals can recognize clients' individual resources. Caring and all services have to support elderly's own performance and individual resources [13]. Unfortunately home care of older people is based on an illness-centered approach that focuses only on their physical resources, and development of home care services is urgent [14]. Digital services and applications can help us to develop elderly care for better direction.

Older people encounter difficulties in many activities of daily life. The market has a lot of different technological solutions for elderly. Older people need versatile services for living at home. Elderly can get benefit from technological applications and solutions that we already have in society. This would be fair for the elderly. The technology for elderly home care and all aging-related applications and solutions are a growing market in the business field. Technology professionals are responsible for developing digital solutions for the elderly. It is important to develop technological solutions from the perspective of the elderly in the first place [15].

In nursing practice we also have effective technology for nurses. Nurses are often in hurry, so applications can help them in decision-making [16] and documentation [13] and in clinical work [17]. We take care of the clients as possible and with the help of updated information. With digital solutions it is possible to develop safer caring pathway in social and health care for elderly.

Demographical change is a large political, social, and economic question, and it is a global phenomenon. In the political point of view, many countries have to make changes and develop organization of services. Elderly need more services, and this is also an economical question. Elderly services have to be flexible and cost-effective [18]. Belgium, France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom have an organizational model in which health and social services are separate. In other countries, especially Denmark, Finland, and Sweden, policymakers recognized the advantages of providing home care as one integrated organization under the responsibility of municipalities [19, 20].

It is most important that person's service package is an integrated and appropriate wholeness. One of the key challenges of home technologies is the need to control and integrate many separate systems, as technologies are often purchased one by one [21, 19, 15]. The services for the elderly must have consistent quality and be fair for all the elderly [22]. Digital services can complement and defragment the customer care and thus improve the quality of care. The longer the elderly are able to live in their own homes, the cheaper it is for the society [15].

ontology definition is starting point in process harmonization. Ontology with item harmonization is the backbone for semantic structure and information harmonization. The functionality of semantic infrastructure has been built upon semantic structure and master data definition (Figure 9). Process definition, care pathway, is guiding process harmonization in semantic infrastructure. That is also the key for networked business harmonization. Service environment

9. Ethical values and digitalization

Among results of earlier research [14], home care services need to provide a service that meets clients' specific needs including psychological and social resources. Older persons try to find strategies to cope with the changes and difficulties that arise in relation to aging. Technological solutions can be used in activities of daily living to compensate lack of elderly's performance. The technological solutions promote elderly's safety and the feeling of safety also to client's family members and relatives.

Home care professionals need more education for exploiting digital applications in client's care at home. They need more information on what kind of applications is available for care. When the treatment is planned, the possibilities of digital services should be taken into account. Client orientation is most important in developing digital services for the elderly. Elderly as a social and heterogeneous group with diverse interest, variable education, health, and socioeconomic level has to be taken in account, when creating and producing services.

It is a well-known fact that loneliness is a significant problem for elderly. Technology is not the answer to everything [15]. It cannot replace human relationships, but suitable technological solutions can support elderly's social life. The ability to live safely at home should be considered carefully respecting older people's own choices. The focus is on technological solutions that can extend the time the elderly continue to live in their own homes independently and safely. There is no universal technological solution that suits everyone; hence they should be applied by configured way. Technological solutions can give elderly opportunities to participate and socialize instead of isolating at home.
