Feasibility Study-Research
Questions
•How do we best implement these technologies for a
caregiver to interface with the care recipient with AD?
• What are some of the technical barriers to
overcome?
• What features and characteristics are ideal in each
stage of AD?
• How do we ensure care recipient and caregiver
privacy?
• What are some “fail safe” strategies if the
technology malfunctions?
•What are the caregivers perspectives from using
the home automation devices?
 •Implementation
• Needs and preferences vary
Findings: • Takes longer
• Connectivity issues

Themes • Password management

• Compatibility for programming
• App updates
Questions for Discussion

How might home What specific

automation technologies or
technology for devices may be
caregiving impact long- applicable in long-term
term care transition? care?
