CarePlus is an information and communication telecare initiative for users and providers of health and social care. It is run from the University of Sheffield School of Nursing and Midwifery. The aim of the project is to develop a service, initially via the WWW and ultimately also by digital TV, that will help carers and older people by providing useful, well organised and managed information about health and social care.  UPDATE:  CarePlus builds on the research and development work undertaken by the ACTION project (Assisting Carers using Telematic Interventions to meet Older persons Needs, EU funded study completed in October 2000), turning the outcomes into a service.
