Abstract

Despite the technology advances in the field of virtual assistant and activity monitoring devices, older adults are still reluctant to embrace this technology, specially when it comes to employ it to manage health-related issues. This paper presents a work in progress for a virtual caregiver, based on the Internet of Thing paradigm, that employs different technological solutions for information gathering and intervention delivery. The ultimate goal of this virtual caregiver is to support people empowerment to actively contribute to frailty and multimorbidity management and risk mitigation. To this end, user acceptance and willingness to use the propose solution has to be ensured. This work in progress starts with the hypothesis that by embedding the proposed technology in a smart mirror device will improve user acceptance and willingness to use. This paper presents the vision and overall architecture and future work will address the evaluation of user acceptance and the use intention.
