Supporting independent living for the ageing population in later life is an often-cited application area ubiquitous computing. Telecare services such as remote monitoring systems are now coming onto consumer market but there little knowledge of impact these technologies may have on relationships between family members and older relatives.

Abstract The MERIDIAN study examined whether in‐utero MRI (iu ) improves the accuracy of diagnosis foetal brain abnormalities, when used as an adjunct to ultrasound anomaly scanning. A diagnostic iu differs from routine screening because its infrequent use and scanning procedure. Nested within this trial, sociological explored acceptability a technology contribution parental decision‐making.
