title = "The social implications of an assisted living reminder system",
abstract = "We present the findings of an in situ field study conducted using our assisted living system, I-Living, that aims to enable seniors to live in a costeffective manner independently. Basing the study on both interviews and diaries provided valuable and well-rounded data. Some of the main findings revealed that seniors will wear small health sensors if designed carefully. The study further reveals that delicate and complicated social structures influence the design space in such communities. The primary contribution of this paper is the pilot study conducted at an assisted living facility. It paints a compelling picture of day-to-day life in a healthcare institution and uncovers broad design implications that apply to a wide range of technologies.",
