"Aging in place" refers to older adults remaining in their home as they age to maintain their independence and attachment with their community. The preference to "age in place" has led to increasing use of aged care monitoring devices to monitor the health, safety and wellbeing of older adults while living alone in their home. However, these devices raise privacy concerns as they are designed to collect, use and share sensitive data from the older adults' private life in order to provide its real-time monitoring capabilities. This study involved interviewing developers from companies that design or deploy aged care monitoring devices about how they view privacy. The study found that developers mostly link privacy to unauthorized/uncontrolled access to users' data, data security risks and human errors. We advocate aged care monitoring devices companies to expand their view of privacy and to adopt a sociotechnical approach when addressing privacy in their developed devices. This involves considering human issues when addressing privacy, rather than focusing exclusively on technical solutions for privacy problems.
“就地养老”是指老年人随着年龄增长仍居住在自己家中，以保持其独立性并与社区保持联系。对“就地养老”的偏好导致老年护理监测设备的使用日益增加，以便在老年人独自在家生活时监测他们的健康、安全和福祉。然而，这些设备引发了隐私问题，因为它们旨在收集、使用和共享来自老年人私人生活的敏感数据，以提供实时监测功能。本研究采访了设计或部署老年护理监测设备的公司的开发人员，了解他们对隐私的看法。研究发现，开发人员大多将隐私与对用户数据的未经授权/不受控制的访问、数据安全风险和人为错误联系起来。我们主张老年护理监测设备公司扩大其对隐私的看法，并在其开发的设备中处理隐私问题时采用社会技术方法。这包括在处理隐私问题时考虑人为因素，而不是仅仅专注于隐私问题的技术解决方案。
