In-home monitoring systems have been proposed to support aging in
place and facilitate home care service. Through a qualitative approach the study
explores nurses' existing challenges and perspectives of an in-home monitoring
system. Results indicate that nurses base care decisions on multiple, and
sometimes, unreliable information sources. However, access to information about
elderlies' physical motion could support the care planning process by reducing
ambiguity and raising attention. Hence, a simple and affordable system that largely
relies on nurses to interpret the sensed data could bring additional value.
