Abstract
The ageing of the world population is leading to an increased number of elderly people remaining in their homes, requiring different levels of care. MIA is a user-centric project aimed at monitoring elderly people in order to help them remain safely in their homes, where the design of the system is informed by the requirements of the stakeholders. In this paper, we present the results of two user studies that ascertain the views of elderly people and their informal carers regarding the acceptability and benefits of in-home monitoring technologies: (1) concept mapping coupled with brainstorming sessions, and (2) questionnaires. We then discuss how these requirements affect the design of our monitoring system. © 2012 Springer-Verlag.
