In Switzerland, as in other industrialized countries, one of the challenges is to maintain elderly's good health as long as possible. Part of this strategy lays on ensuring that they are quickly and safely helped in the event of a fall or another health-related problem. The goal of ensuring security though have to be balanced with the goal of ensuring that elderly's right to privacy and autonomy. In this study we submitted to elderly and their proxies within a Think Aloud protocol a range of teleassistance devices in order to investigate their needs, fears and expectations.
