“…The series of interviews revealed that the system reduced caregivers' physical and mental stress, as previously reported (Sugihara et al 2008;Sugihara and Fujinami 2011), comparing the situation before and after system deployment. Caregivers reported that some areas became blind spots at night because fewer caregivers were available to work overnight.…”

“…The wall and door removal in GH-D can be considered in this case, especially in terms of its spatial layout. Our previous study showed that caregivers may lock doors that directly leading to the outside if caregivers and managers do not have the skills and leeway to maneuver dementia-related issues such as aimless wandering (Sugihara et al 2008;Sugihara and Fujinami 2011).…”

Dementia care is becoming increasingly important in Japan as the elderly population grows. Care homes are designed so that caregivers can easily observe and subsequently respond to the needs of people with dementia.However, the layout of care homes can become overly restrictive for residents, for example, by not providing intermediate spaces where people can spontaneously interact and initiate conversations. We present a case study that explores the implementation of video monitoring in two purpose-built care homes in which we were asked to help overcome the blind spots presented by the layout. We collected data both before and after the implementation of the video monitoring in order to understand its effect. The balance between people's sense of security and the concerns about loss of privacy through video monitoring is well established. However, we found that video monitoring had a beneficial effect on both the caregivers and the residents if implemented sensitively. Furthermore, the implementation of video monitoring could support the design of more beneficial care home layouts. In conclusion, we propose that the sensitive implementation of video monitoring be considered alongside design of the physical layout of care homes.

“…Regarding the overall acceptance of video-based AAL, the results from the selected 22 studies show that acceptance attitudes toward video-based AAL technologies are rather conditional. Few studies reported more concerns over the use of monitoring systems than advantages [ 33 , 49 ]; however, most of the studies note that depending on diverse variables, the acceptance of video-based AAL technologies also vary. Generally, positive attitudes toward technology were related to greater acceptance of sharing and recording health-related information.…”

Background The aging society posits new socioeconomic challenges to which a potential solution is active and assisted living (AAL) technologies. Visual-based sensing systems are technologically among the most advantageous forms of AAL technologies in providing health and social care; however, they come at the risk of violating rights to privacy. With the immersion of video-based technologies, privacy-preserving smart solutions are being developed; however, the user acceptance research about these developments is not yet being systematized. Objective With this scoping review, we aimed to gain an overview of existing studies examining the viewpoints of older adults and/or their caregivers on technology acceptance and privacy perceptions, specifically toward video-based AAL technology. Methods A total of 22 studies were identified with a primary focus on user acceptance and privacy attitudes during a literature search of major databases. Methodological quality assessment and thematic analysis of the selected studies were executed and principal findings are summarized. The PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines were followed at every step of this scoping review. Results Acceptance attitudes toward video-based AAL technologies are rather conditional, and are summarized into five main themes seen from the two end-user perspectives: caregiver and care receiver. With privacy being a major barrier to video-based AAL technologies, security and medical safety were identified as the major benefits across the studies. Conclusions This review reveals a very low methodological quality of the empirical studies assessing user acceptance of video-based AAL technologies. We propose that more specific and more end user– and real life–targeting research is needed to assess the acceptance of proposed solutions.

“…Most existing smart systems target internet-based reminiscent therapy for seniors and telecommunication between the patient and the physician [5]. Some systems are dedicated to help PCE at work or at home by memorizing and delivering necessary data [6]- [7].The others aim to assist old people at group homes and hospitals [8]- [11] A good survey of assistive technologies and systems can be found in [12].…”

Caregiving a person suffering from dementia or loss of brain cognitive ability due to aging is a big physical, mental and emotional burden to family members. In this paper we present a novel system for assisting caregivers at home. The system employs heterogeneous sensing and artificial intelligence technologies to automatically and unobtrusively monitor the patient; assess possible risks that the patient may face in current situation; and alert the caregiver on emergency by delivering video, audio and text to his mobile phone or PC. We discuss the system architecture and technologies applied for sensing, communication, assessment and user-interface, and present a prototype system implementation.
