In an era of rapid technological advancement it’s undeniable that many innovations have the potential to transform patient care. However, the current landscape often leans toward supply-driven adoption of healthcare technology, thereby overshadowing the critical aspect of its integration into healthcare practices, alongside a pressing need for person-centered care (Van Der Zijpp et al., 2022). We argue that a purely technological rational approach to integrating healthcare technology into practice threatens continued involvement of those patients and healthcare practitioners grappling with the impact of technology on person-centred care. An inclusive and dialogical approach fosters reciprocity, relational empowerment and mutual learning (Abma et al., 2009) as issues arising from the implementation into practice are predicted, described and resolved. In our project Living Longer @Home we used the principles of inclusivity and dialogue to guide the construction and analysis of multi-perspective/multi-stakeholder case narratives about the use of technology in community care. In this presentation we firstly reflect on the process of collecting and working with case narratives to facilitate dialogue on a person-centred approach to using healthcare technology. Bachelor student nurses were trained and supervised in the construction of multiple perspective narratives which they consequently fed back to teams for critical dialogue: exchanging of perspectives and collaborative action planning on the further use of health care technology within the team. Secondly, we will focus on the main themes deduced from a meta-analysis of those narratives collected by the nursing students. The themes illustrate affirming and competing values, needs and expectations of stakeholders, offering us learning about a person-centred approach to integrating health care technology into health care practice.
