Usable privacy for e-health data of vulnerable users

该项目探讨了可穿戴设备在保护弱势用户方面的作用和日常活动跟踪，同时拥抱物联网共享适当数据的好处。无处不在和可穿戴技术的出现以及“智能家居”将物联网（IoT）技术带入日常生活，并承诺使家庭任务变得更容易并提高生活质量，但在家庭虐待的情况下，这一影响存在问题。英国报告称，警方记录的家庭虐待犯罪有所增加，避难所等慈善机构的电话数量大幅增加。除了研究使物联网更容易被个人接受，以收集他们的电子健康数据，我们还应该考虑减少对妇女的暴力行为，以及普利茅斯市理事会更安全的街道等举措。将进一步调查易用性和可用性方面，使设备能够舒适地使用，而不会对广泛的用户造成危险。该项目将应用和探索针对家庭虐待幸存者的既定可用性原则[9]，并由监督小组在该领域开展后续工作（Alkhafaji博士关于可穿戴设备; Atkinson博士关于家庭虐待; Liz Stuart博士关于可用性; Dang博士关于隐私保护机制）。

This project explores the role of wearables and tracking of daily activities in the context of protection of vulnerable users, whilst embracing the benefits of IoT for sharing appropriate data. The emergence of ubiquitous and wearable technologies alongside 'Smart Homes' brings Internet of Things (IoT) technology into everyday life with a promise of making domestic tasks easier and enhancing quality of life, but there are issues around the impact this has in situations of domestic abuse. The UK has reported a rise in police recorded domestic-abuse crimes with charities such as Refuge seeing a substantial increase in calls.Alongside the research in making IoT more acceptable to individuals for collecting their e-Health data we should consider the move towards reducing violence against women alongside such initiatives as the Plymouth City Council Safer Streets. Further investigation will be made into ease of use and usability aspects to enable the devices to be comfortably used without danger for a wide range of users.The project will apply and explore established usability principles for domestic abuse survivors [9] and following work in the field by the supervision team (Dr Alkhafaji on wearables; Dr Atkinson on Domestic Abuse; Dr Liz Stuart on Usability; Dr Dang on Privacy preserving mechanisms).
