“…Amongst the attributes of ambient intelligence is its integration into everyday objects (Kosta, Pitkanen, et al, 2008;Kosta, Pitkänen, et al, 2010). As Cook et al (2009) present it, the term 'ambient intelligence' refers to "a digital environment that proactively, but sensibly, supports people in their daily lives." (Cook et al, 2009, p. (Darwish and Hassanien, 2011).…”

“…During the clinical trials, an important aspect for medical researchers is the meaningfulness of the data gathered, both from a scientific and a medical point of view, in order to be able to translate it into valid knowledge (Allen et al, 2008;Conley et al, 2008;Cook et al, 2009;Darwish and Hassanien, 2011;Kang et al, 2010;Kaye, 2010;Noury et al, 2011;Romdhane et al, 2012;Viswanathan et al, 2012;Wherton and Monk, 2008). The accuracy and reliability of such data has to be prioritised, according to their relevance, importance and urgency (Darwish and Hassanien, 2011;Viswanathan et al, 2012).…”

Ambient assisted living (AAL) technologies can provide assistance and support to persons with dementia. They might allow them the possibility of living at home for longer whilst maintaining their comfort and security as well as offering a way towards reducing the huge economic and personal costs forecast as the incidence of dementia increases worldwide over coming decades. However, the development, introduction and use of AAL technologies also trigger serious ethical issues. This paper is a systematic literature review of the on-going scholarly debate about these issues. More specifically, we look at the ethical issues involved in research and development (R&D), clinical experimentation, and clinical application of AAL technologies for people with dementia and related stakeholders. In the discussion we focus on: 1) the value of the goals of AAL technologies, 2) the special vulnerability of persons with dementia in their private homes, 3) the complex question of informed consent for the usage of AAL technologies.

“…Beckman et al have anticipated that the end-user sensor installation mainly enhances users' sense of control, but the concept also offers several other advantages: it reduces costs, accommodates diverse deployment environments, and increases users' acceptance of the technology [3]. Cook et al expect the approach to advocate a new focus for HCI: including the investigation of the mechanisms for sup-porting and enriching human socialization and interaction, and orienting the research toward community and cultural enhancement [8]. Understanding people, their personal backgrounds, their different levels of computational thinking and their felt experiences is an important qualification for accepted and acknowledged DIY IE [30].…”

Abstract. This article illustrates design-oriented human-computer interaction (HCI) research for creating do-it-yourself (DIY) experiences for emerging technologies. It contemplates the design objectives for the DIY construction processes through the lens of Ecological Approach to Smart Environments (EASE) and by exemplifying three case studies. The first case study introduces the design of the Home Control System of a nursing ecology for the aged. The second case study presents the Music Creation Tool research in music therapy ecology for those with disabilities, and the third study, Life Story Creation, presents a memorysharing application for elderly amateur writers. The article carefully considers the role of users in HCI research, who in the DIY context are expected to be active and motivated crafters and builders of their personal environments. The focus of research, the user experience studies, aims at supporting creating, configuring and sharing experiences within the constructed prototypes, and at determining the new experiences that emerge from the research. The concluding objective for the article is presenting of a design framework for involving the initiative domain owners to the DIY research.Keywords: Human-computer interaction (HCI), do-it-yourself (DIY), ecological approach to smart environments (EASE), user experience design (UX), intelligent environments (IE)

“…Particularly in everyday life situations, ITEs can cause a feeling of being watched or controlled. According to specific context issues, some researchers have advocated privacy as a preference that should be customizable by consumers based on their particular preferences [24], [58], [93]. In this vein, a high level of security will improve the probability of system trust and situational decisions to trust.…”

Digital ecosystems, or IT-ecosystems (ITEs), are composed of multiple and independent entities such as individuals, organizations, services, software, and applications. Together, these elements create a number of new independent systems that operate and communicate with their own infrastructure (man to machine; machine to machine; person to person), sharing one or several missions. A better understanding of how ITEs and their interconnected components create benefits and added value for different types of consumers is of particular importance to the establishment of digital environments and to managing their resources. Considering different components of perceived trust in ITEs, we rely in this paper on a multi-dimensional framework of trust effects that includes system-centric as well as user-centric determinants of trust. Based on our conceptual model, we develop two sets of propositions. The first ones address technological drivers of trust in ITEs, whereas the second set of propositions considers individual as well as social drivers of trust. The model and propositions are discussed with reference to preliminary empirical results as well as to future research steps and business implications.
