“…In our convenience sample, there were minimal concerns about privacy or data security, consistent with studies showing that older adults are generally open to activity monitoring and data sharing with family or medical providers especially for maintaining health and independence [40, 41]. Future clinical implications of this technology include the ability to provide older adults, families, and medical professionals with objective information about driving patterns to stimulate discussions and inform decision making around driving restrictions or cessation.…”

Background Driving is a key functional activity for many older adults, and changes in routine driving may be associated with emerging cognitive decline due to early neurodegenerative disease. Current methods for assessing driving such as self-report are inadequate for identifying and monitoring subtle changes in driving patterns that may be the earliest signals of functional change in developing mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Objective This proof of concept study aimed to establish the feasibility of continuous driving monitoring in a sample of cognitively normal and MCI older adults for an average of 206 days using an unobtrusive driving sensor and demonstrate that derived sensor-based driving metrics could effectively discriminate between MCI and cognitively intact groups. Methods Novel objective driving measures derived from 6 months of routine driving monitoring were examined in older adults with intact cognition (n = 21) and MCI (n = 7) who were enrolled in the Oregon Center for Aging and Technology (ORCATECH) longitudinal assessment program. Results Unobtrusive continuous monitoring of older adults’ routine driving using a driving sensor was feasible and well accepted. MCI participants drove fewer miles and spent less time on the highway per day than cognitively intact participants. MCI drivers showed less day-to-day fluctuations in their driving habits than cognitively intact drivers. Conclusion Sensor-based driving measures are objective, unobtrusive, and can be assessed every time a person drives his or her vehicle to identify clinically meaningful changes in daily driving. This novel methodology has the potential to be useful for the early detection and monitoring of changes in daily functioning within individuals.

“…Extant literature proves that consumers express positive attitudes toward the products and services of healthcare wearable devices [21,22]. To further understanding consumer's behaviors toward healthcare wearable devices, prior studies widely examined the impacts of related factors such as ease of use and motivation on user's decision to adopt wearable devices in healthcare [23,24]. In addition, pioneer researches have contributed to the development of wearable technologies [4,5] as well as the design of specific devices to be applied in healthcare sector [1][2][3]25].…”

The rapid growth in consumer adoption of wearable devices has garnered the attention of both practitioners and academia. Competition in the wearable device market is both substantial and complicated. In this study, we investigate the impact of network externality on wearable device competition in a two-dimensional product differentiation model. We consider a market that has a broad array of products (horizontal differentiation) and various quality levels (vertical differentiation). We study two types of network externalities according to the product compatibility in two types of market structures. Our model indicates that firm profits are decreased by network externalities in horizontal dominance. Network externality also increases (decreases) the higher-quality (lower-quality) firm's profit in vertical dominance. Moreover, firms should ensure that their products are incompatible with those of rivals when network externality is large, and they should release compatible products when network externality is small in horizontal dominance. Firms should always ensure that their products are compatible with those of competitors in vertical dominance.

“…When the health declines, older adults become more willing to use assistive technologies that involve sharing of data with third parties [55]. In this case, however, they also want to be involved in the choice of system and to be in control over the technology, and control over the system is an important factor in technology acceptance [56].…”

“…In this case, however, they also want to be involved in the choice of system and to be in control over the technology, and control over the system is an important factor in technology acceptance [56]. This involves getting an understanding of the system's usefulness, availability of data, and cost [55]. When it comes to privacy, older adults are very thoughtful and want to be empowered and to retain the sense of the home as a haven with respect for their autonomy [55].…”

Minding the Gap: Reconciling Human and Technical Perspectives on the IoT for Healthy Ageing

There are two distinct bodies of literature on the Internet of Things, one that derives from a technical perspective, while the other comes from a human perspective. From a technical perspective, sensors can automatically detect physical activity, thus enabling elderly people to live independently, while sensors in essence check that they are active, remind them to take their pills, and so on. From a human perspective, people seek control over their lives, good health, social connection, and a sense of well-being that comes from having purpose and feeling competent in daily routines. So are technologies meant to enable users to stay in control of their lives and manage their relations and preferred routines, or do they undermine it, making elderly people feel subjects of surveillance and incompetent, disrupting their daily arrangements? And is there a middle path that we might take in design that creates innovative technologies that are aesthetic in form and function and empowering to use? In this paper, we offer a framework and examples of designs that bridge these perspectives.
