“…Some of the implanted sensors might also be active, for instance controllingthereleaseof adrugfromacapsuleforming part of the implant. There would clearly be a need to ensure that any such sensors were robust, highly reliable and, ideally, of sufficiently lowcost to be disposable, enabling themto be used in redundant clusters 27 .…”

“…Safety is a primary requirement of all systems and appropriatefail-safeconditionsandsystemdegradation paths must be defined. The production of a new generation of low-cost, intelligent microsystems and sensors, perhaps incorporating built-in self-test features, could allowthe introduction of redundancy into the system 27 . A formal study will be required to establish the safety-critical aspects of the newsystems andtoevaluate their fail-safe behaviour inrelationtoa range of prospective users.…”

As the number of elderly people in society increases, the use of technology to support the care system is being examined. However, there is no agreed model of a technology-based health-care system that fully integrates the technical and social aspects to meet the needs of both clients and care providers. This paper examines a possible model from the perspective of both the client and the service provider, and estimates the costs, and hence the potential savings, associated with the introduction of a health-care system based on this model. Cost data are presented in the context of an installation as might be anticipated within a city such as Birmingham, UK. Installation costs of an advanced telecare system would be higher than the set-up costs of conventional systems. Expected savings in control centre costs and emergency services costs would be small. However, a reduction in the average annual length of hospital stay by one day and a reduction in the proportion of elderly people being treated in hospital from 32.4% to 32.0%, directly as a result of the use of advanced telecare, would produce significant savings. A financing scheme with a 5-year or 10-year repayment period would then be financially viable for a 10,000-home advanced telecare system.

“…The second implication of this research is regarding the optimization of system quality in CRM systems. System quality in information systems is mainly referred to as the system's overall functionality, performance, and usability [ 78 , 80 ]. This dimension can have a significant impact on customer satisfaction in CRM systems.…”

“…Built-in selftesting can be used to verify device functionality throughout its lifetime: immediately post-production; during the installation and set-up procedure; during normal operation; and during maintenance. Built-in self-testing therefore plays an important role when it comes to managing potential hazards and minimizing any damage that may result in the event of a failure 17 .…”

The increasing adoption of technology to support independent living at home through the extended use of community alarms and, ultimately, second-generation telecare systems poses some safety problems. The implications of any failure of the technology must be addressed in order to provide a safe and reliable care service. The risks of using home-based technology can be assessed by standard techniques under three categories: environmental factors; human factors; and technological factors. A safety classification system for telecare devices is proposed leading to a range of design guidelines which represent good practice. An example of the use of these design principles is a prototype second-generation telecare system, MIDAS, which is currently undergoing trials. In order to reduce the risks associated with device failure, the system incorporates distributed intelligence, built-in self-testing and redundancy. Potentially hazardous situations can therefore be controlled.
