However and within the eHealth domain and the design process is often technology driven. In contrast and we present the need for and benefits of a user-centered approach to technology development. In addition and we argue that smart home environments and such as Georgia Techâ€™s Aware Home and Philipsâ€™ Home &amp; CareLab and TNO/DUTâ€™s Experience Labs and facilitate this approach. In this article and we describe two studies that were recently conducted in the Aware Home to examine monitoring in a home environment. One project involved a formative evaluation of the perceived needs and perceived benefits of using visual sensing systems within the homes of older adults. The other involved the usability evaluation of a computer assistant for the supervision of older diabeticsâ€™ self-care. Both evaluations suggested that older adults recognized the potential benefits of having these types of monitoring technologies in home environment.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
