Abstract: Can technology make it easier to offer flexible and resident-focused food services in nursing and care homes, despite budget constraints and a shortage of skilled staff? This question was addressed by an interdisciplinary team together with the ZHAW Competence Centre for Technologies in Health Care. In a preliminary study, we first interviewed experts and then conducted a survey. The study revealed a strong interest in improving food services in nursing and care homes. However, it also highlighted that food services need to be considered alongside several other factors in order to ensure effective evaluation and development. With this initial investigation behind us, we will now continue with a more extensive main study. To be continued! For more detailed information, the final report of the preliminary study is available for download: https://www.zhaw.ch/en/lsfm/institutes-centres/ifm/about-us/hospitality-service-management/fm-in-healthcare/food-for-care/
