To get an unbiased and high frequently status of the physical performance of the persons at risk, unsupervised assessments of their functional abilities should ideally take place in their homes. Thus, we have developed a minimized unsupervised technical assessment of physical performance in domestic environments. By conducting an exploratory factor analysis, based on the results of 79 study participants with a minimum age of 70 years, we could clarify that common assessment items mainly represent three key parameters of functional performance \"mobility and endurance\", \"strength\" and \"balance\". Consequently, we identified a minimal set of assessment items that is suitable for home-assessments and that, since covering all three parameters, is able to generate clinical meaningful and relevant insights about the functional status. Regarding the parameter mobility, we developed a technical assessment of physical performance for domestic environments, which utilizes short distance walk times assessed via ambient presence sensors as an indicator for potential functional decline. In a field trial over ten months with 20 participants with a mean age of 84.25 years, we could confirm the general feasibility of our approach and the proposed system.","PeriodicalId":200810,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 11th EAI International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127292451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Technologies, often rooted in sound scientific principles, sometimes do not perform as expected in real world scenarios. Quite often the barriers to use are not inherent in the behavior change model of the product or service, but are issues associated with the failure to appropriately consider the needs of the end users when designing an intervention. We deployed a large, multi-stage research study with aging adults to assess the facilitators and barriers of technologies aimed to create or support behavior changes related to medication adherence. Using the Fogg Behavior model, we analyzed the triggers made on behavior change through data from surveys, in-home interviews, participatory design workshops and the deployed technologies. Our results indicate that the user experience associated with delivery of the content is at least as important as the content. Additionally, experienced users are far better prepared to help researchers identify potential design issues than novice users. Because our participants were knowledgeable about the technologies and the features that worked and did not work, the concluding participatory design sessions were highly efficient in providing feedback on the type of mechanisms that resonate with this population and could lead to higher levels of behavior change in future technologies.","PeriodicalId":200810,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 11th EAI International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125636704","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
