Final Activity Report Summary - SIFT (Social intelligence for tele-healthcare)
During the SIFT project two experienced behavioural scientists investigated the role of social intelligence for creating trust and privacy in tele-healthcare applications. The project aimed at: 1. creating design guidelines for bringing the concept of social intelligence into interactive systems with the purpose to create user trust and acceptance 2. developing a standardised instrument for assessing social intelligence in interactive systems. Based on extensive ethnographic studies, i.e. on long term studies conducted in two continents, the guidelines for designing social intelligent systems for tele-healthcare applications were identified.

Project objective
Personal Healthcare is playing a very important role in our life. In the United States, Personal Healthcare expenditures have surpassed $1 trillion, which is expected to double in the next decade. Philips is entering the area of Personal Healthcare at home, but there is not much experience to build upon. Although there is undoubtedly knowledge that can be reused from the Consumer Electronics domain, more research is needed in the area of Personal Healthcare.In this, we are dealing with very personal data, where the user requirements for interactive and monitoring systems are much more con-strained than in CE applications. Monitoring devices will have both perceptive and reasoning capabilities. These systems have autonomy and are interpreted as intelligent. But their actual introduction into our daily lives is threatened by the user's acceptance for perceptive and reasoning systems.A reason for this is that users expect such a system to adhere to social conventions with regard to the confidential treatment of personal information: a social intelligent system. Bringing social intelligence into interactive systems, however, is not a trivial matter. Behavioural scientists - which are currently not among the Philips community - are needed to investigate the effects of perceptive systems on human behaviour. This SIFT ToK project will develop system design guidelines for bringing social intelligence into interactive systems in order to create trust in and acceptance of telehealthcare applications.Therefore, scientific measurement instruments for the assessment of social intelligence are developed. This project will develop a standardised and normative questionnaire for measuring the concept of social intelligence in interactive systems. Herewith we can reliably measure the concept of social intelligence, while with a normative instrument we can also put additional demands onto the amount of social intelligence an interactive system should have.
