CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES OF USING SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGIES IN RESIDENTIAL CARE
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Surveillance technologies are becoming an increasingly pervasive tool for monitoring older adults in long-term care. A number of these technologies have been designed to support independence and well-being through monitoring everyday lifestyles and behaviours. However, in acting as an observational tool, concerns have been raised about how these technologies may impact privacy and autonomy, and affect care delivery. This study reports on qualitative research conducted in a long-term care home in Vancouver, Canada where video surveillance cameras were deployed to observe the behaviours of older adults in long-term care. The findings identify some of the potential benefits of surveillance (as an intervention and care management tool) alongside challenges and unintended consequences (on resident behaviour and care relationships). Understanding the consequences of surveillance technologies is important in order to better assess their efficacy in formal care settings.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
