Why older adults and their children disagree about in-home surveillance technology, sensors, and tracking.
Researchers compared preferences of older adult women and their adult children for three remote monitoring technologies. They found that adult children preferred each technology more than their mothers did and underestimated both their mothers' ability to comprehend the functions of the technologies and the importance of engaging them fully in decision making. For both groups, privacy was the most-cited concern, and participants perceived significant overlap between values of privacy, independence, identity, and freedom. They recommended shared decision-making tools to promote remote monitoring use consistent with older adults' values and to prevent conflict and caregiver overreach.
