Interactive CaringTV® is a Finnish innovation that was developed by Laurea University of Applied Sciences in 2006. CaringTV was developed through action research during three research projects. The aim of interactive CaringTV is to support the health and well-being of elderly people living in their own homes.
The Safe Home project was based on action research, userdriven methods, and a case study. User-driven methods were applied in planning, implementing and evaluating the programme and eServices e.g. testing and evaluating peer support, including eConsultation as the methods for supporting clients´ coping with life in their own homes. Costeffectiveness and process modelling were studied through the case study.
The user-driven approach and the collected data formed the basis for the interactive programme. The online CaringTV programme included content to: support everyday life for the elderly, safety, and activities of daily living, support social relationships, participate in rehabilitation and physical exercises, manage self-care, and health issues. Active participation in the CaringTV programme provided functional ability and everyday coping as well as a meaningful activity in everyday life.
CaringTV is an interactive platform to support elderly in their everyday life and help them cope at home. User-driven methods enable participants´ active involvement in planning interactive and online programmes and eServices via CaringTV. The ultimate goal of the CaringTV is to support elderly´s health, wellbeing and interaction. CaringTV empowers elderly people to take responsibility for their own health care as part of healthy ageing.
互动关爱电视（Interactive CaringTV®）是芬兰的一项创新成果，由劳瑞应用科学大学于2006年研发。关爱电视是在三个研究项目中通过行动研究开发出来的。互动关爱电视的目的是支持居家老年人的健康和福祉。
安全之家项目基于行动研究、用户驱动方法和案例研究。用户驱动方法应用于项目和电子服务的规划、实施及评估，例如测试和评估同伴支持，包括将电子咨询作为支持客户居家生活应对的方法。通过案例研究对成本效益和流程建模进行了研究。
用户驱动方法和收集到的数据构成了互动项目的基础。在线关爱电视项目包含以下内容：支持老年人的日常生活、安全及日常生活活动，支持社会关系，参与康复和体育锻炼，管理自我护理及健康问题。积极参与关爱电视项目提供了功能能力和日常应对能力，以及日常生活中有意义的活动。
关爱电视是一个支持老年人日常生活并帮助他们在家中应对的互动平台。用户驱动方法使参与者能够通过关爱电视积极参与互动和在线项目及电子服务的规划。关爱电视的最终目标是支持老年人的健康、福祉和互动。关爱电视使老年人能够作为健康老龄化的一部分，对自己的医疗保健负责。
