That approach might have disadvantages, especially with senior citizens and poor people who might not have ready access to the Internet. They are the ones who usually miss out when essential services go online-only. But then again, we're talking about Scandinavia here, so the size of the affected population and the severity of the problem would be a lot less than in the U.S.

Or we send out a person with a laptop to the home of the old person so they can be guided if needed. That said, it is rather few where this is needed. Most old people over here are intelligent enough to learn IT-stuff.
