Assessing Older Adults’ Perceptions of Sensor Data and Designing Visual Displays for Ambient Environments

Abstract: Summary Objectives Our objectives were to: 1) characterize older adult participants’ perceived usefulness of in-home sensor data and 2) develop novel visual displays for sensor data from Ambient Assisted Living environments that can become part of electronic health records. Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted with community-dwelling older adult participants during three and six-month visits. We engaged participants in two design iterations by soliciting feedback about display types and visual … Show more

“…Visualizations can also help ensure data is considered objectively. For example, Reeder et al studied older adult perceptions of health-related self-tracking data and found that visual presentation was useful for objectively identifying trends [44]. We similarly aim to use visualizations of patientgenerated data to support the development of actionable treatment plans.…”

“…However, the older adult population represents a unique demographic group with different design considerations than the general population due to aging associated differences in vision, cognition, and motor control (Charness, Demiris, & Krupinski, 2011). Existing design guidelines for older adults focus primarily on websites, emphasizing how information should be presented to facilitate discoverability and navigation (Demiris, Finkelstein, & Speedie, 2001; National Institute of Aging & National Library of Medicine, 2002;Redish & Chisnell, 2004). Although there exists overlap, design guidelines for data visualizations represent a different set of information needs with an emphasis on supporting effective comparisons and identification of trends as opposed to design guidelines of webpages (focusing more on discovering and navigating through content).…”

“…For older adults, this has the potential of bridging the gap between the abstract collection of data and the tangible representation of integrated wellness. Although a body of work has shown that older adults find utility in technology to support their health and wellness (Coughlin, D’Ambrosio, Reimer, & Pratt, 2007; Demiris et al, 2004; Melenhorst, Rogers, & Caylor, 2001; Wild, Boise, Lundell, & Foucek, 2008), there has been limited research examining how this would translate to data visualizations (Reeder, Chung, Le, Thompson, & Demiris, 2014). In this article, we describe findings from evaluations of interactive visualizations with 21 older adults focusing on how the visualizations may be used as a resource for maintaining health and wellness.…”

“…Because text data are presented as text, either full text or summarized text by user's request, [2][3][4]6 the increased amount of the text data immediately takes up the space of a screen to display data or information. 12,13 An advanced display needs to be developed to present increased text over time. As another limitation, this study did not observe public health nurses using the developed screens in a real workflow.…”
