“…For example, some spaces were perceived as more private and thus monitoring felt more intrusive [ 34 – 36 ]. Formal caregivers were concerned about monitoring technologies being used as a recording device for their work [ 37 , 38 ]. Furthermore, older persons were often worried about cameras [ 39 , 40 ] and “eyes watching”, even if no cameras were involved [ 41 – 43 ].…”

Background The worldwide increase in older persons demands technological solutions to combat the shortage of caregiving and to enable aging in place. Smart home health technologies (SHHTs) are promoted and implemented as a possible solution from an economic and practical perspective. However, ethical considerations are equally important and need to be investigated. Methods We conducted a systematic review according to the PRISMA guidelines to investigate if and how ethical questions are discussed in the field of SHHTs in caregiving for older persons. Results 156 peer-reviewed articles published in English, German and French were retrieved and analyzed across 10 electronic databases. Using narrative analysis, 7 ethical categories were mapped: privacy, autonomy, responsibility, human vs. artificial interactions, trust, ageism and stigma, and other concerns. Conclusion The findings of our systematic review show the (lack of) ethical consideration when it comes to the development and implementation of SHHTs for older persons. Our analysis is useful to promote careful ethical consideration when carrying out technology development, research and deployment to care for older persons. Registration We registered our systematic review in the PROSPERO network under CRD42021248543.

“…These prompt further investigation into their possible role to improve care solutions available for international migrants with caregiving responsibilities to older parents back home. Whereas depictions of caregiving technologies often elicit hints of increased loneliness or fears of human replacement in proximate care, technology use may provide the “second-best” option for distance caregivers when the barriers to physically care or visit are higher and care is provided in other forms like remittance or telecommunication (Barnier and Chekkar 2018 ; Cahill et al 2019 ; Chaumon et al 2016 ). In the existing literature on transnational care, researchers note that additional forms of co-presence could also be experienced and appreciated by families, such as “virtual” and “ambient” forms of co-presence (Baldassar 2008 ; Madianou 2016 ).…”

The coupled growth of population aging and international migration warrants attention on the methods and solutions available to adult children living overseas to provide distance caregiving for their aging parents. Despite living apart from their parents, the transnational informal care literature has indicated that first-generation immigrants remain committed to carry out their filial caregiving obligations in extensive and creative ways. With functions to remotely access health information enabled by emergency, wearable, motion, and video sensors, remote monitoring technologies (RMTs) may thus also allow these international migrants to be alerted in sudden changes and remain informed of their parent’s state of health. As technological solutions for caregiving, RMTs could allow independent living for older persons while any unusual deviations from normal health patterns are detected and appropriately supported. With a vignette of a distance care arrangement, we engage with concepts such as filial piety, in-absentia caregiving distress, and the social exchange theory, as well as the upholding of shifting cultural ideals to illustrate the complex dynamic of the satisfaction and quality of the informal caregiving relationship. This paper extends the traditional ethical issues in technology-aided caregiving, such as autonomy, privacy, and justice, to be considered within the context of distance care. We also posit newer ethical considerations such as consent in power imbalances, harm to caregivers, and stigma. These known and new ethical issues aim to encourage further ethically conscious design and use of RMTs to support distance care for older persons.
