Looks at whether there is a potential mass market for technology to improve home care for elderly and disabled people. Surveys consumers' attitudes and finds that there is a potential market, providing the price is right, although potential manufacturers so far show little interest. Suggests that future technological advances and scale economies from the American market may encourage development in this area.
