The workshop in Slovenia was the third consecutive HoCare thematic seminar that focuses on a specific theme. The first and second thematic seminar took place in Madeira and Budapest. More than 260 participants from businesses, research institutions, government bodies and end users attended the three thematic seminars.

As a good practice in Slovenia, a new E-Care service was presented at the thematic seminar of Telekom Slovenije, a provider of communication services in Slovenia. Peter Pourostynik and Suzana Leben of Telekom Slovenije have explained that e-care is a modular solution that effectively supports the quality of life of elderly people, people with disabilities, chronic illness and dementia for a more independent stay at home. The service helps prevent premature abandonment of institutional care.
