Somehow I got SmartView working. 😀

(Searched in Settings. Found Smartview. This was the only visible sign of SmartView.
Went to the almost greyed-out section of SmartView Permissions. Enabled everything. Then next day found SmartView in the main Menu. Not sure why this worked.)

Low vusion Elderly Relative is now enjoying seeing enlarged relatives on TV screen in video calls.

HDMI cable adaptor has also arrived. Untested.

This creates safety issues around the location of the passenger not being known to their supporters.

Someone I know is taking the lock from their side gate into the locksmith to get it keyed.
And they'll phone the Australian National Dementia Helpline and ask about the legalities of locking doors & gates to stop an elderly person putting themself in grave danger.

They're not feeling good.

I'm thinking that being prevented from going out into the world is a significant change.
It could be put into an Advanced Care Directive.

I'd have thought this was a silly joke.

But they're serious.

"Trusted partners" - I'm seeing anyone proposing that they'll release medical and private data to anonymous others as inherently untrustworthy.

A deal killer in my evaluation.

New Article in Health Policy: »Experiences and social constructions of loneliness in later life: Collaborative focus group discussions in Germany«

While Aging in Place – the possibility to grow old in one’s own home – is a wide-spread ideal for many people, it comes with an increased risk of loneliness in later life. In a study spearheaded by my PhD student Andrea Kastl and co-authored together with Ulrike Fettke, we empirically explored the perspectives and practices of dealing with loneliness as voiced by older people who want to age in place. The study entitled “Experiences and social constructions of loneliness in later life: Collaborative focus group discussions in Germany” has now been published in the journal Health Policy. Our main conclusions based upon collaborative focus group discussions:

Assessing loneliness requires taking individual perspectives into account, as mere quantification of social contacts is insufficient for evaluation or intervention design. To help cope with loneliness, health professionals are an important social interface and can become a substitute for close relationships. This should be reflected in professional roles and in developing complementary technologies and policies.

The article is available open access over at Health Policy.

Just wrote SMS, "Welcome to Geriatric Land" and proceeded from there to describe the task that needed to be carried out in prep for Tuesday's doctor's appointment. Didn't send them a sample photograph.

Flashing back to the blazing feminist article, "Welcome to Cancer Land".
