Privacy and social implications of distinct sensing approaches to implementing smart homes for older adults

Abstract

Two distinct approaches to smart home design, namely Distributed Direct Sensing (DDS) and Infrastructure Mediated Sensing (IMS), have distinguishing features and implications resulting from their implementation. These two distinct smart home approaches have not been directly compared pertaining to their technical performance or their acceptance by the end users. It is also unclear what the perceived privacy and obtrusiveness concerns are when it comes to the implementation of these two different approaches in homes. The study presented here aimed to evaluate acceptance of these two sensing approaches by older adults and assess the perceived privacy and obtrusiveness concerns and ultimately define their social implications.
