AB  - Older adult participants in the Intelligent Systems for Assessment of Aging 
      Changes study (ISAAC) carried out by the Oregon Center for Aging and Technology 
      (ORCATECH) were surveyed regarding their attitudes about unobtrusive home 
      monitoring and computer use at baseline and after one year (n=119). The survey 
      was part of a longitudinal study using in-home sensor technology to detect 
      cognitive changes and other health problems. Our primary objective was to measure 
      willingness to share health or activity data with one's doctor or family members 
      and concerns about privacy or security of monitoring over one year of study 
      participation. Differences in attitudes of participants with Mild Cognitive 
      Impairment (MCI) compared to those with normal cognition were also examined. A 
      high proportion (over 72%) of participants reported acceptance of in-home and 
      computer monitoring and willingness to have data shared with their doctor or 
      family members. However, a majority (60%) reported concerns related to privacy or 
      security; these concerns increased after one year of participation. Few 
      differences between participants with MCI and those with normal cognition were 
      identified. Findings suggest that involvement in this unobtrusive in-home 
      monitoring study may have raised awareness about the potential privacy risks of 
      technology. Still, results show high acceptance, stable over time, of sharing 
      information from monitoring systems with family members and doctors. Our findings 
      have important implications for the deployment of technologies among older adults 
      in research studies as well as in the general community.
