ETSI TC Human Factors
Responsible for human factors in all areas of telecommunications and ICT
Responsibility to ensure ETSI takes account of the needs of all users
generic, older, young, disabled, etc. Produces standards, guidelines and Technical reports
that set the criteria necessary to ensure the best possible user experience

ETSI Workshop11
Human factors- a wide and complex area
Human factors of eHealth/ telecare involves: human confidence and decision making; user education; device setup, configuration, calibration and maintenance; data collection, transmission and communication with diagnostic
systems and carers; user procedures; cultural issues (e.g. use of language and illustrations); the organization of the care provisioning process; accessibility issues; usability aspects relating to the specifics of mobile environments;
Telecare services are used by young and older people, impaired, disabled or temporarily ill people should therefore be designed, deployed and maintained
thereafter!
April 18, 2007Med-e-Tel 2007, Luxembourg
ETSI Workshop12
Demography changes
Western societies are aging 40% of the European population foreseen to be 65+ in 2051
Public health care spending is on the increase- OECD figures as % of GDP: 1970: 5 % 1990: 7% 2004: 8 % already exceeds 10 % in Germany, Sweden, Switzerland and the USA
OECD recommends actions including: the introduction of automated health‑data systems; strategies making use of new technologies; and improved quality of care through better information.
Better health care services are required on a global level Costs and expenses not allowed to continuously increase
without a collapse of the system in the aging Western world)

e-Health and Telecare services
Thanks to the smarter home, home help is required only twice a year… to adjust the clock!
April 18, 2007Med-e-Tel 2007, Luxembourg
ETSI Workshop16
Telecare is…
ICT-enabled delivery of health and social care services to individuals within the home or a wider area, involving clients, carers and coordination agents.
A Business-to-Consumer (B2C) service model, including: information and communication services; safety and security monitoring; personal monitoring; electronic assistive technologies.
NOT telemedicine, a service offered to and used by healthcare professionals! a Business- to-Business (B2B) service model
April 18, 2007Med-e-Tel 2007, Luxembourg
ETSI Workshop17
A historical perspective (pre-e-Infrastructures)
Medical care until the mid‑1900s provided by trained physicians in the client's home; family and neighbours acting as nursing and supportive staff
This healthcare model has changed dramatically Medical care is now care unit‑centric, requiring advanced equipment; A GP or MD's visit to the client's home has become an unusual service.
Telemedicine was introduced in the 1960s as isolated, stand alone efforts to overcome distances
Social care services supported by ICT since the 1990s Through call centre services, home equipment for social alarms, etc. Enabled by the underlying technology and availability of services .
The more widespread deployment of telecare was held back by the: lack of reliable telecommunication networks and devices; unavailability of hardware and software at reasonable costs; lack of on‑line connectivity; relatively stable demographics and lack of political support; lack of client trust, acceptability and client expectations and habits; resistance from healthcare professionals
• social patterns take generations to change
April 18, 2007Med-e-Tel 2007, Luxembourg
ETSI Workshop18
A historical perspective: e-Infrastructures as enablers
Users were not ready yet, nor were the prerequisites technology, society, technical infrastructure, practitioners,
procedures, budgets, etc The proliferation of fixed and mobile broadband services (in
and outside the home) is opening up opportunities for convenient and reliable delivery of telecare services
Thereby- the demand for end user (client) centric human factors guidelines addressing design, development, deployment, use and
maintenance of telecare services is on the increase At present, demographic changes, limited resources, high
user expectations, globalization and technology are transforming medical and social care systems in many
countries

ETSI Workshop19
Rationale for our work
Telecare must move from the research labs to the real world; technology is there; still need to consider:
Intuitive and simple user interfaces Reliability Security and privacy issues Interoperability Business models
A user centred approach is a pre-requisite to a successful uptake!

ETSI Workshop20
ETSI TR 102 415 STF 264 “Telecare- user aspects”
Contribute to meeting the demand for care services enabled by narrow- and broadband, fixed and mobile technologies
Support EC policy framework give vulnerable customers greater access to an independent
life within the wider community; and reduce the need for institutional care.
Not exclusively services for older community members young people who need care at home, permanent heart monitor wearers, pregnant women, etc.
Identifies key issues, potential solutions, and provide recommendations for actions be taken in this area
Facilitate the development of European and international standards

Guideline themes
Trust – trust is only established when the user believes issues relating to the security of information have been dealt with appropriately, and that the system can deliver what is expected of it.
User interaction - Interfaces should be designed with the needs of all end users in mind, requiring high degrees of flexibility and a sound knowledge of the end users abilities and preferences.
Service aspects – this theme is mainly concerned with the internal workings of the system developers and service providers, ensuring that any issues which might arise here are dealt with appropriately so that the service can be delivered.
