ABSTRACT
This paper describes the iterative process in which voice-assisted technology (VAT) has been integrated with an in-home sensor system to enable older adults to better manage their health. Through pilot research, a user interface was developed and is currently being deployed in older adults' homes. This ongoing research has the ability to help older adults remain independent in their own homes and can assist informal caregivers in providing at-home supports

Designing a Human-Centered Intelligent System to Monitor & Explain Abnormal Patterns of Older Adults
ASSETS '23: Proceedings of the 25th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and AccessibilityOlder adult care technologies are increasingly explored to support the independent living of older adults by monitoring their abnormal activities and informing caregivers to provide intervention if necessary. However, the adoption of these technologies ...
Understanding Older Adults' Perceptions of In-Home Sensors Using an Obtrusiveness Framework
Proceedings, Part II, of the 10th International Conference on Foundations of Augmented Cognition: Neuroergonomics and Operational Neuroscience - Volume 9744The aim of this study was to determine if dimensions and sub-categories of a previously-tested obtrusiveness framework were represented in interviews conducted with community-dwelling older adults at three- and six-month study visits during an in-home ...
Elderly mental model of reminder system
APCHI '12: Proceedings of the 10th asia pacific conference on Computer human interactionThe growing numbers of elderly is inevitable. As we get older, we will experience some memory declines, thus an assistive technology such as reminder system is recommended. However, the uptake of reminder system is still low. Many researchers from the ...
