Palliative care is typically presented to the public as being “high touch” and “low tech”. However, through digital technologies, palliative care is set to become both: high touch and high tech.

NeDiPal uses an innovative approach by analyzing the co-production of care work between palliative home care providers and care recipients, relatives, and other informal caregivers through the lens of Luhmannian systems theory.
