“…23 Therefore, taken together, we believe that many individuals are willing to share health-related information for research purposes as long as their information is kept private and secure. For clinical purposes, while there is increasing interest in telemonitoring, it is important to ensure that patients understand what data are being tracked and how the data will be used.…”

Background Ascertainment of hospitalizations is critical to assess quality of care and the effectiveness and adverse effects of various therapies. Smartphones, mobile geo-locators that are ubiquitous, have not been leveraged to ascertain hospitalizations. Therefore, we evaluated the use of smartphone-based “geofencing” to track hospitalizations. Methods and Results Participants ages ≥ 18 years installed a mobile application programmed to “geofence” all hospitals using global positioning systems and cell phone tower triangulation and to trigger a smartphone-based questionnaire when located in a hospital for ≥ 4 hours. An “in-person” study included consecutive consenting patients scheduled for electrophysiology and cardiac catheterization procedures. A “remote” arm invited Health eHeart Study participants that consented and engaged with the study via the internet only. The accuracy of application-detected hospitalizations was confirmed by medical record review as the reference standard. Of 22 eligible “in-person” patients, 17 hospitalizations were detected (sensitivity 77%; 95% confidence interval [CI] 55-92%). The length of stay according to the application was positively correlated with the length of stay ascertained via the electronic medical record (r=0.53, p=0.03). In the remote arm, the application was downloaded by 3,443 participants residing in all 50 U.S. states; 243 hospital visits at 119 different hospitals were detected through the application. The positive predictive value for an application-reported hospitalization was 65% (95% CI 57-72%). Conclusions Mobile application-based ascertainment of hospitalizations can be achieved with modest accuracy. This first proof of concept may ultimately be applicable to “geofencing” other types of prespecified locations to facilitate healthcare research and patient care.

“…(5) PGTs, as novel technologies might also give rise to various kinds of anxieties, concerns, and feelings of uneasiness in older individuals, especially with regard to being observed or manipulated by technology. Older users of PGTs can, for instance, become concerned about the impact on their self-determination, their privacy, as well as the safety and security of their data and personal information (Sorell 2011;Sorell & Draper 2012;Berridge 2016Berridge , 2017. In this respect, many such anxieties and concerns could be remedied through activities aimed at building and maintaining trusting relations and attitudes toward relevant persuasive technologies.…”

Trust in technology is an important factor for the design and use of technology in general. While there is growing interest in the role of trust on this general level, so far little attention has been given to the particularities of trust in persuasive technologies, i.e. technologies that serve to persuade users into certain behaviours. Those technologies are increasingly targeting the older adults, posing ethical questions that ask for sensitive investigation of trust. Here, we explore the specific character of trust in persuasive gerontechnology. We argue that the question of how to establish trust in technology, how to make trust lasting and enduring, requires considering user-centric and institution-centric approaches, and suggest an approach that is sensitive to wider social and institutional factors. The impact that persuasive gerontechnology can have depends on whether people can trust them, the designers, or the overall system. Drawing on studies of determinants of institutional trust, we identify four main strategies that can inform designers, technology assessors and policy makers in building trust between technology and users: (1) creating novel institutions, (2) creating incentives, (3) providing guarantees, and (4) ensuring transparency. We conclude the discussion with suggestions regarding future directions in researching trust and persuasive technology.

Smart Houses are a prominent field of research referring to environments adapted to assist people in their everyday life. Older people and people with disabilities would benefit the most from the use of Smart Houses because they provide the opportunity for them to stay in their home for as long as possible. In this review, the developments achieved in the field of Smart Houses for the last 16 years are described. The concept of Smart Houses, the most used analysis methods, and current challenges in Smart Houses are presented. A brief introduction of the analysis methods is given, and their implementation is also reported.
