对于考虑外出长期护理的老年人来说，家庭监测是一种有吸引力的替代方案，也是非正式照顾者和医疗保健提供者获得有关老年人健康和福祉的关键决策信息的途径。然而，对家庭环境中全天候监控的隐私问题，特别是视频监控，被认为是设计家庭监控系统的主要障碍。在这篇文章中，我们描述了“DigiSwitch”的设计和评估，这是一种医疗系统，旨在允许老年人查看收集到的关于他们的信息，并出于隐私原因暂时停止传输数据。一系列迭代用户研究的结果表明，控制从家里传输的监控数据有助于维护用户隐私。研究表明，老年人能够使用DigiSwitch系统来监控和指导家中健康信息的收集和传输，为这些参与者提供了一种同时保持隐私和受益于家庭监控技术的方式。
Home monitoring represents an appealing alternative for older adults considering out-of-home long term care and an avenue for informal caregivers and health care providers to gain decision-critical information about an older adults’ health and well-being. However, privacy concerns about having 24/7 monitoring, especially video monitoring, in the home environment have been cited as a major barrier in the design of home monitoring systems. In this paper we describe the design and evaluation of “DigiSwitch”, a medical system designed to allow older adults to view information as it is collected about them and temporarily cease transmission of data for privacy reasons. Results from a series of iterative user studies suggest that control over the transmission of monitoring data from the home is helpful for maintaining user privacy. The studies demonstrate that older adults are able to use the DigiSwitch system to monitor and direct the collection and transmission of health information in their homes, providing these participants with a way to simultaneously maintain privacy and benefit from home monitoring technology.
