An Age-Old Problem: Examining the Discourses of Ageing in HCI and Strategies for Future Research (2015, background): “There are also examples of the design of healthcare technologies to alleviate the concerns of family members [Mynatt et al. 2001; Rowan and Mynatt 2005].”
Smart Homes: Past, Present and Future (2003, background): “Mynatt et al., 2001; Siio et al., 2002; Voida and Mynatt, 2002.) The home is a quintessential “human” place, with all the intricacies that entails.”
Intelligent Technology for an Aging Population: The Use of AI to Assist Elders with Cognitive Impairment (2005, background): “One particularly interesting approach is that of the Digital Family Portrait [Mynatt et al.2001].”
A taxonomy of ambient information systems: four patterns of design (2006, background): “…significantly alter the design dimensions Research systems that we analyzed include: Bus Mobile [24], Dangling String [35], Digital Family Portrait [26], InfoCanvas [33], Informative Art [30], Information Percolator [16], Irwin [22], Kandinsky [11], Kiumra [19], Lumitouch [5], Notification Collage…”
A Review of 25 Years of CSCW Research in Healthcare: Contributions, Challenges and Future Agendas (2013, background): “Digital Family Portraits (Mynatt et al. 2001) provides a different interpretation of telemonitoring, aimed at an ‘aging in place’ scenario, where icons around a picture frame in a remote family member’s house could depict various activities levels of the older person based on data from various senso”
A Survey on Ambient-Assisted Living Tools for Older Adults (2013, background): “Finally, such technologies can allow older adults to better connect and communicate with their peers, as well as with their family and friends [14], [15].”
MAHI: investigation of social scaffolding for reflective thinking in diabetes management (2008, background): “While the general usefulness of health monitoring applications is undoubted, many of the evaluation studies carried on so far focused almost exclusively on qualitative assessments and participant self-reports [10, 20].”
Towards reliable multimodal sensing in aware environments (2001, background): “For example, the Digital Family Portrait can non-invasively and privately monitor and report the level of daily activity for an elderly parent to a trusted group [18].”
Assessing demand for intelligibility in context-aware applications (2009, background): “Remote Monitoring: Digital Family Portrait The Digital Family Portrait [23] leverages a picture frame to present the current status of an elderly family member as he or she goes through daily life living independently in her home, to remote loved ones.”
Heuristic evaluation of ambient displays (2003, methodology): “bient displays is dicult, and has been limited in the past to formative ethnographies [ 14 ], and iterative, “living laboratories” [12] in which applications are evolved over time as they are used by their creators.”
