| Everyday activities | |||
| During the week | |||
| Social activities | “Before the COVID, we were in a running group too. Every Wednesday afternoon we could get together to run. It was also a time for sharing and meeting people. We regularly visited my in-laws too, and I didn’t hesitate to go out for conferences, often in the evening”—FR_10 | ||
| Other activities | “Otherwise I get up, I do my cleaning, I do my shopping, I read, I play on my tablet, breakfast probably in the afternoon I, I take the opportunity to go for a walk. I play TV games and then watch a lot of TV.”—FR_03 | ||
| Weekend | “No, it’s pretty much the same. In fact, maybe more outside at the weekend when I’m in the Oise, for example. In Oise we leave in the morning and come back in the evening.”—FR_03 | ||
| References | “for me it’s useful because I hear a person say thank you. yes, it’s to have positive feedback on me, it makes me happy to be useful for something for sure”—FR_06 | ||
| Under COVID-19 | |||
| Emotions | “Yes, and then it’s the lack of objectives. It kills me not to be able to say to myself “in so many days I’ll go on a trip or I’ll go for a weekend to such and such a place or I’ll see my family”. I miss it, it’s terrible but that’s everyone. My thought is to say that it will be a part of our life wasted but we can’t help it.”—FR_01 | ||
| Social activities | “I try to create social links in the building by letting people into my house. I’m going to see my sister-in-law this weekend and I try to create social links in the building by letting people into my house. the last time was a week ago, there were 4 of us. I try to do this at least twice a month.”—FR_12 | ||
| End activities | “And as I’m asthmatic, I made sure I didn’t mix with the others. So I also isolated myself automatically. Having a sporting life and also going out a lot more will come back I think after the COVID.”—FR_07 | ||
| Other activities | “So now I have to rest. After the meal I’m very lazy. Because I have nothing to do. I have games, board games that you play by yourself, like triomino, like domino. I read magazines. And some books of course. And then usually I watch television”—FR_04 | ||
| Health | |||
| Importance in everyday life | |||
| Conscious confrontation | “My health, or rather my non-health, keeps me busy. I have appointments twice a week. It’s very important and then the MRIs, scans, blood tests, things like that. So my health takes up a lot of my time and energy. I did sophrology. I also did meditation. Sophrology was very good for me. I still do it, but I don’t do it under the aegis of someone anymore, but I apply it on a daily basis.”—FR_11 | ||
| Non-conscious confrontation | “I’m not one of those people who does gymnastics every day, that stuff annoys me.”—FR_05 | ||
| Worries and fears | “I was marked by the Alzheimer experience with the cognitive loss, so somewhere for me it’s a strong fear that I have on that side. Being physically healthy is good but if the mind is not there anymore it’s serious.”—FR_10 | ||
| References | “It’s all about living in good conditions”—FR_07 | ||
| Information gathering | “I had read books on dietetics. to turn towards, an information on the famous “MAMA”, on the diseases related to the Alzheimer’s disease and tried there also to enrich my culture”—FR_08 | ||
| Influence of COVID-19 | “I had the first injection. On the morale. On the other hand, I was in contact […] I did a test and I was negative, until the second test after eight days, I was still very careful because I was scared. and then as there is a latency period, I had to wait, so I was careful”—FR_03 | ||
| Technologies in everyday life | |||
| Attitude towards technologies/digitization | |||
| Rather positive | “It has to be technologies like the Kompai, you see, very particular things. The robots you see at this point because it’s another field that we’re opening up to you.”—FR_04 | ||
| Rather negative/sceptical | “ah no. Not at all, I’m not interested at all. I don’t even know how to do it. I hear people say “social networks this, social networks that” but I haven’t tried it.”—FR_05 | ||
| Specifically used devices | “The phone. I also use a tablet and a computer”—FR_11 | ||
| Use scenarios | |||
| Health-related | “I’ve got the COVID thing there and then I’ve got an application on the steps”—FR_03 | ||
| Everyday life | “I have an electronic agenda. I use the cloud mainly because it allows me to keep data on my smartphone and computers. There are a lot of things I don’t use that I have to deal with to be competent. I use it to dictate notes, I use it for research”—FR_06 | ||
| Social life | “For phone calls, for whatsapp, for emails. I also have a game called duel quiz that I play with my children.”—FR_11 | ||
| Advantages | “I have everything on my phone, I have the same things as on my computer, it’s much easier to access.”—FR_12 | ||
| Disadvantages | “My phone first of all because it’s quite small, you always have to wear glasses, it’s not easy. But when you get older, you can’t see well, you can’t move well, you can’t hear well, etc. You need to have a human interface again because it will work at the same speed as you live.”—FR_07 | ||
| e-Vita Coach | |||
| First unspecific ideas | “Unreal. We give it a reality but it’s not reality, you see. We give it a reality, a presence but it is false.”—FR_04 | ||
| Appearance of the coach | “it would have to be invisible, by which i mean that i accept very well that it is in the form of sensors or something else in my flat. it wouldn’t be a bug that would be following me around. try to humanize it, especially not that.”—FR_08 | ||
| End users | “I’m thinking more of a population that is all alone, stuck at home and having trouble relating to humans.”—FR_09 | ||
| Possible use scenarios | |||
| Under COVID-19 | “to remind myself when I open the door to wear a mask so I don’t have to turn around when I get to the street.”—FR_09 | ||
| Social life | “It could be a social interaction tracking system, i.e., “did you interact with several people during the day, how long did it last, what did you talk about”—FR_10 | ||
| Everyday life | “This coach is there to help solve problems and questions, and also to entertain. This means either reading a book like audiobooks, or telling a play that the person can’t see, or just telling stories but taking them out of their environment and entertaining them. reminding them of appointments.”—FR_01 | ||
| Health-related | “Yes to stimulation. It will also be how I mean it will help you as an aid to do it. Medical emergency for example, there will certainly be alarms and things like that. Instead of picking up the phone and calling 15 we would have a dashboard and we would have to press a button and automatically [inaudible] which will ask you what you have etc, which could take your blood pressure remotely.”—FR_07 | ||
| Concerns/barriers | “I don’t see myself having that at home, watching over me, at me, I don’t know. I really need to be human”—FR_04 | ||
| Requirements for use | “it has to be simple, it has to be made accessible to people. And then you have to explain and help people to use it”—FR_02 | ||
| Speech interaction | |||
| First idea on interaction | “Siri I can’t find the title in which there is such and such an actor, what movie title in which there is such and such an actor but the director is such and such a person But why not it avoids for example typing certain searches on the tablet why not”—FR_03 | ||
| References | “A voice that resembles the nuance of a human voice should be found.”—FR_07 | ||
| Barriers | “For the moment, I’ve already had to learn to leave the books aside, I’d have to learn to leave the real character to talk to someone who is virtual. It’s a step I don’t want to take.”—FR_05 |
