| Abstract: | Sensing technology could significantly improve the current infrastructure for elderly care by enabling care at a distance. State-of-the-art sensing solutions can detect various physical, physiological and emotional behaviour of a person, which could also be applied in elderly care. To effectively implement these solutions in elderly care, challenges in implementation and technological development need to be considered. One such challenge is disseminating the information gathered by sensing systems to the caregivers according to their needs. For that, this research aims to identify the needs and values of the elderlies and (in)formal caregivers towards a communication platform disseminating information obtained by the sensing systems. An exploratory literature review followed by focus group/interviews was conducted with elderlies and (in)formal caregivers to identify these needs and values. Based on these interviews/focus groups, value proposition maps encompassing the needs, pains and gains from such a system were developed. Further, by inductive analysis, perceptions of the system and data collection were summarised, and seven system attributes were generated. |
