ABSTRACT
Monitoring technologies and sensors have huge potential to support elderly people live independently at home. Providing healthcare professionals with access to sensor data displaying a patient's activities and health vitals could deliver numerous benefits, including allowing continuous care, presenting positive/negative trends which healthcare professionals can act upon, or alerting to immediate problems. This paper presents three phases of early-stage research from a larger study, which is concerned with investigating how sensor technologies can be utilised to facilitate frail elderly people transition from hospital to home. The focus of the research discussed in this paper is to explore healthcare professionals' preferences for using and visualising sensor data.
