In-depth interviews were conducted to gather information. The aim was to investigate next of kin experiences when healthcare professionals used sensor technology to take care of their relatives in elderly care. Findings show that next of kin experienced better sleep for both themselves and their relatives. Those who were offered the sensor technology services were few. We need more research to conclude how it will work on a larger scale. We know that implementing Information and Communication Technology changes work flow, but we don`t know the effect of how these tools will make changes when implemented on a larger scale.
