“…This is further linked to the need for protection from the disclosure of sensitive or harmful information [ 56 ]. Elderly users of AmI systems are concerned about their data being misused [ 45 ] and the appropriate sharing of data [ 60 ]. Also of concern is how the elderly can have a say and control with regards to how the data that has been collected is used by collectors (e.g.…”

“… AmI services organizations are encouraged to have an architecture comprising of a myriad of privacy related policies informing different domains such as privacy policies covering the ubiquitous environment, privacy policies covering the user, policies concerning the devices and policies addressing communications e.g. public key certificates [ 41 , 60 ]. One approach to enhance privacy is through minimizing information asymmetry in the context of AmI by increasing information flows from the data collector and users.…”

“…Designers and developers may seem far removed from the elderly users however it is purported that building solutions that take the values of privacy into account may contribute positively. This can be achieved through a “privacy by design” approach where designers, developers and legal expertise collaborate to enhance privacy [ 41 , 60 ]. AmI services must be framed within the relevant technical standards and legal statutes.…”

“… AmI services must be framed within the relevant technical standards and legal statutes. There should also be a consideration of conducting privacy impact assessments [ 60 ] to identify potential areas of concern before implementation. Rather than collecting and transferring a vast array of data AmI solutions may consider limiting the data collected and transmitted to only what is essential and necessary to deliver a service [ 42 ].…”

Over the past few decades the significance of information and communication technologies has become apparent across various sectors of our modern society. In tandem with the global technological revolution and an increasing reliance on technology we have seen changes in the demographic profile of our populations. There is a worldwide trend of an increasing number of elderly people. Technology is seen as one option for supporting the elderly in maintaining social relationships, monitoring their health and living independently. One technological innovation that has been explored in various facets to support the elderly is Ambient Intelligence. This paper discusses the privacy implications of ambient intelligence based systems taking into account elderly users and adopters. Technological advancements and their applications should be understood from a socio-technical basis with regards to the potential impact on users and society at large. This research study adopted the systematic literature review method to identify, analyze and synthesize secondary data. This study appraises existing literature related to Ambient Intelligence, privacy concerns and the elderly over the past decade and contributes lessons and direction for practice and research.
