Grant: Team Grant: More Years / Better Lives

Life-logging technologies may enable and motivate older individuals to pervasively capture data about themselves, their environment, and the people with whom they interact in order to receive a variety of services to increase their health, well-being, and independence. However, there have been limited studies about the ethico-legal implications of the use of these technologies to support older and frail people. This project aims to understand users' requirements in terms of perceived benefits and barriers and to increase the awareness of the ethical, legal, social, and privacy issues associated with life-logging, establishing guidelines for responsible research in these technologies. These guidelines will be the basis to propose and develop during the project a variety of privacy-aware and acceptable life-logging services for older and frail people.
