An investigation into socially acceptable long term anonymous video monitoring for assessment of behaviour changes in ageing adults

该研究项目将调查生活在自己家中的老年人（处于不同生命阶段）可以接受的匿名长期视频监控形式，并提供长期行为变化（例如活动的频率，持续时间，速度和程度）的量化措施。成功的结果将产生一种新的方法来定量评估老年人的长期行为变化，适用于支持生活在自己家中或庇护住房中的人。拟议的匿名视频技术将与研究在不同生命阶段的家庭环境中老年人可以接受的技术方法相结合。

The research project will investigate forms of anonymous long-term video monitoring that are acceptable to ageing adults (at different life stages) living in their own homes, and which provide quantitative measures of long-term behaviour changes (e.g. frequency, duration, speed, and extent of activities). A successful outcome will produce a new approach to quantitatively assessing long-term behaviour changes in ageing adults, suitable for supporting people living in their own homes, or in sheltered housing. The proposed anonymous video technology will be developed in conjunction with research on what technological approaches would be acceptable to the ageing person in a home context, at different life stages.
