ESR photo Research project "Perceptions of personal safety and privacy in frail elderly, disabled people and their caregivers in the context of video-based lifelogging technologies" About the project The aim of this project is to analyse the acceptance of AAL (lifelogging) technologies, essentially the monitoring with video cameras located in public and private spaces, by their potential users. Including as a potential user, both the frail elderly patients and people with disabilities and with needs of aid, and their caregivers, formal or informal. Different types of cameras, locations, and type of information will be considered as well as benefits (for example, medical safety) and related barriers (for example, the threat to their privacy). Start date: March 2021 Expected end date: March 2024 Progress of the project This research project started by carrying out a scoping review on the Acceptance and privacy perceptions toward Video-based Active and Assisted Living technologies in collaboration with ESR1. The article has already been submitted to a Journal - Age and Ageing and is under revision. ESR15 also published a conference paper in collaboration with ESR12. This was followed by designing a qualitative data collection plan together to carry out focus groups and interviews with the potential users of AAL technologies (older adults, their formal and informal caregivers, facility managers, case managers). Two rounds of qualitative data collection have already been executed, and it is still a work in progress. Next step is to try out the prototype technology in the facilities of AIAS Bologna, and carry-on qualitative data collection as well as quantitative questionnaire on user experience of the proposed systems. ESR 15 has also been teaching three course modules about the research methodology at her host institution, University of Alicante. Apart from this, ESR15 is actively collaborating with GoodBrother COST Action, which is a Network on Privacy-Aware Audio- and Video-Based Applications for Active and Assisted Living. She participated in online and on-site workshops, seminars, and meetings, resulting in an upcoming policy paper and another project where they are developing a scale to measure AAL literacy. At the moment they are on the stage of literature review and the design of the data collection for scale development.
