Real-time location system implementation in dementia care: Stakeholder perspectives
These failures underscore the need for iterative and participatory approaches to implementation, transparent communication, and stakeholder alignment. The findings highlight the sociotechnical complexities of implementing surveillance technologies in long-term care. Ethical concerns surrounding resident autonomy, workforce surveillance, and data governance, must be addressed in future implementations to ensure that RTLS supports rather than compromises the dignity and rights of residents and staff.
