context-specific ethical, legal, privacy and societal issues necessary to
implement visual system across hospital, home and community settings, in a
manner that protects and reassures users; outputs will stimulate the
development of a new research perspective for constructively addressing
privacy-aware video-based working solutions for assisted living.
