Abstract
This paper is about breakdown that occurs within the contextual frame of elderly aging in place by support of innovative welfare technology. The paper presents use of Activity Theory as a constructive framework to explore laypeople experiences with occurrences of breakdown including the subsequent coping mechanisms for recovery from such. Findings in the study display that articulation work plays an essential role to manage temporary workarounds or to accomplish recovery from breakdowns. Additionally is it sought for a minimum system requirement for robust infrastructure and high availability of services in order to prevent occurrences of medium to complete breakdowns as they in worst cases may harm the life and health of elderly aging in place.
