本文介绍了Care 4 Balance（C4 B）系统，以更好地促进正式和非正式护理人员之间的沟通和任务协调，以及老年人作为护理对象。现场测试与老年人（n=3）和用户研究（n=9）进行了评估系统和系统的感知有用性。回顾相关的工作和研究结果表明：（1）老年目标群体的感知益处非常低。使用该系统的主要动机是由他们最亲密的非正式照顾者的感知利益引发的;（2）非正式照顾者不会定期为自己寻求帮助，（3）引入C4 B类系统不仅仅是解决硬件和可用性问题。该研究表明，需要在正式护理的组织结构（在荷兰和超越）更灵活。
This paper describes the Care4Balance (C4B) system for better facilitating communication and task coordination between formal and informal caregivers, and older adults as care receivers. Field-tests with older adults (n=3) and user studies (n=9) were conducted to evaluate the system and the perceived usefulness of the system. A review of related work and the study findings show that (1) the perceived benefit for the older target group was very low. The main motivation for using the system was triggered by the perceived benefit for their closest informal caregivers; (2) Informal caregivers do not regularly seek help for themselves, and (3) Introducing a C4B-like system is more than solving hardware and usability issues. The study suggests that more flexibility in the organizational structure of formal care (in The Netherlands and beyond) is needed.
