E-mail and SMS simplify contacts with nursing homes

Family members want to use SMS and e-mail messages to reach and maintain contact with personnel working with the elderly. These are some of the findings of a survey that TeliaSonera has conducted to poll 6,000 private persons and 250 municipal decision-makers all over Sweden.

"It is already clear today that family members want to reach and maintain contact with personnel in home-help services and nursing homes in a simple manner by sending and receiving e-mail and SMS messages. Increased usage of modern communication services in the care sector can simplify day-to-day life for many and also help municipalities save money."
