Abstract

New forms of ambient technology are emerging. Human computer interaction continues, but with an at time invisible interface. Agents monitor seniors in their homes to ensure medical doses are taken in timely and correct fashion. Testing the usability of such technology raises numerous ethical concerns, particularly to do with enabling participants in such testing make informed decisions. Current principles of informed consent, as used in the human computer interaction profession, may be inadequate to the task ahead.
