“I had eyes on me to help me”: a qualitative descriptive study on trust in passive monitoring systems among older adults with mild cognitive impairment
Participants conceptualized depth sensors as more than a device, instead associating it with human agents who monitored them and interpreted their data. Despite the passive nature of the technology, successful implementation of monitoring systems requires ongoing human involvement and communication with the participants to build trust within the community.
