Abstract

In this paper, our goal is to explore different early evaluation techniques and their effectiveness for designing better ambient health- promoting devices for the elderly. One cannot assess the complete impact of these devices without full implementation of the device. However, through early evaluation, we present a set of considerations that can help gain meaningful insights to refine and improve upon the existing conceptual models of health monitoring ambient devices.
