Summary

The Fragility box is a project lead by Mines de Saint-Etienne, Gérontopôle Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (AURA) and Eovi Mcd Mutually to prevent autonomy loss in the elderly dwelling population. With non-intrusive sensors installed in their residence, it is possible to monitor and forecast the frail state of elderly people living alone. The current study focuses on the technical feasibility of the project and the acceptability of these types of devices within the elderly's home. About ten participants have volunteered to be a part of this study. Therefore, they had the sensors installed at their home for a 12 months duration. A qualitative study with focus groups and individual interviews are carried out to evaluate the project: user satisfaction, expectations, and fears.
