Lifelogging, using body worn sensors (activity monitors and time lapse photography) has the potential to shed light on the context of sedentary behaviour. The objectives of this study were to examine the acceptability, to older adults, of using lifelogging technology and indicate its usefulness for understanding behaviour.
6 older adults (4 males, mean age: 68yrs) wore the equipment (ActivPAL™ and Vicon Revue™/SenseCam™) for 7 consecutive days during free-living activity. The older adults' perception of the lifelogging technology was assessed through semi-structured interviews, including a brief questionnaire (Likert scale), and reference to the researcher's diary.
Older adults in this study found the equipment acceptable to wear and it did not interfere with privacy, safety or create reactivity, but they reported problems with the actual technical functioning of the camera.
This combination of sensors has good potential to provide lifelogging information on the context of sedentary behaviour.
使用可穿戴在身体上的传感器(活动监测器和延时摄影设备)进行生活记录,有可能揭示久坐行为的相关情况。本研究的目的是检验生活记录技术对老年人的可接受性,并指出其在理解行为方面的有用性。
6名老年人(4名男性,平均年龄:68岁)在自由生活活动期间连续7天佩戴设备(ActivPAL™和Vicon Revue™/SenseCam™)。通过半结构化访谈评估老年人对生活记录技术的看法,包括一份简短问卷(李克特量表),并参考研究人员的日记。
本研究中的老年人发现佩戴该设备是可以接受的,且它不会干扰隐私、安全或产生反应,但他们报告了相机实际技术功能方面的问题。
这种传感器组合有很大潜力提供关于久坐行为相关情况的生活记录信息。
