missing, and combining of data gathered and life cycle data is not possible, or it is very difficult. The common interface layers are strategy (e.g., contract), process, information, data ownership, and security and communication. It is essential to understand all the stakeholders in home care

New Internet of thing, IoT, and other distant service solutions are developed. They support combining data gathered from home digital systems (solution data from home environment

When a request involved in any format should answer the end-to-end performance, the Semantic definition needs to be clear from the request structure [15]. There will be four structural classes, such as health, social, process, and controls. A database links automatically. Social and healthcare

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 in elderly care is highly networked.

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].

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

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 socio-

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 partici-

10. Well-being and home care: conceptual model for adaptive development

Digitalization in home care and well-being sector is a rather new phenomenon. There are still few experiences in exploiting digitalization in municipal service functions. The best and widely accepted innovations and services are created at customer interface. Research and learning environments at municipal customer environment have been used in succeeding business coevolution and continuous innovation. Cooperation requires engagement of municipal authorities and nurses. It requires trust on information and experience delivering. It is ought to be continuous on various organization levels. Cooperation and learning together on research and learning environment supplied in TELI-project case by university are basis for new innovations and continuous development. Development of superior competitive power through principals of well-being and home care is built by lean and digitalized value networks. It is important to succeed in exploiting multidisciplinary competence and open information
