The challenges of an aging population require the adoption of in-home and medical technologies to complement the traditional caregiver model. Adoption of such technologies is, however, impinged by privacy concerns. This study investigates a four-dimensional framework that explains the trade-offs between functionality and privacy as constructed by older adults. The four dimensions constitute perceived utility, data granularity, data recipient, and activity sensitivity. We conducted a survey-based study to empirically examine the applicability and robustness of this framework. Our results have implications for the adoption of a wide range of privacy-enhancing technologies. By focusing on the intersection of an under-studied group (nontechnical older adults) and sensitive data (medical and at home), this work has the potential to enable privacy enhancing technologies (PETs) that might be widely adopted. |
