  text: This paper reports on a study exploring the attitudes of users towards video-based
    monitoring systems for long-term care of elderly or disabled people in smart home
    environments. The focus of the study was on investigating the willingness of users
    to accept medical technology in their homes and the specific conditions under
    which continuous monitoring would be acceptable. Using the questionnaire method,
    a total of 165 users (17-95 years) were examined regarding privacy, intimacy and
    trust issues for medical technology in homes. The results highlight trust and
    privacy as central requirements, especially when implemented within private spaces.
    The reported concerns were mostly insensitive to gender and age. Overall, it was
    revealed that acceptance issues and users' needs and wants should be seriously
    considered in order to successfully design new medical technologies.
