Abstract

This paper presents a new way of motivating the elderly to correct misbehavior without confronting them directly about it. This is done by reversing the usual human-computer interaction concept, so that the computer-based process influences the human user. By processing data on individuals' activity recognition system (ARS), the behavior of the elderly is rated by comparing it to expected behavior. Presenting visual or physical metaphors then motivates individuals to behave well in order to affect the appearance of the metaphor by achieving a given goal, such as making a flower flourish by brushing their teeth.
