  text: 'This paper explores Finnish, German and Swedish older adults’ perceptions
    of a future welfare service with increased use of welfare technologies, specifically
    care robots. The issues are the rapid digitalization and development of health
    and welfare technology, which presently is mainly technology driven (not need
    or user driven), and the demographic challenge. The aim of the study was to explore
    older adults’ perception of the future use of welfare technology or care robots.
    A qualitative approach with focus group discussions was employed, followed by
    thematic analysis. The results are presented in four overall themes: the impact
    on daily life for older adults and professional caregivers, codes of practice
    and terms of use, dissemination of information and knowledge, and conditions for
    successful implementation. There were significant differences in the informants’
    attitudes toward and knowledge about care robots. However, the informants’ attitudes
    appeared to change during the focus groups and in general, became more positive.
    Authentic needs, which care robots could support, refer to independence, safety
    and security, and the ability to manage or ease daily life or working life. The
    results suggest that older adults, after receiving relevant information, were
    open to the idea of being supported by care robots in their daily lives.'
