SUMMARY:CASE Scientific Session (CSS)
DESCRIPTION:Contact: yana.litinska@jur.lu.se\n\nWelcome to this year’s fi
 rst interdisciplinary CASE Scientific Session (CSS)\, a collaboration betw
 een the faculty of law and the faculty of medicine! Presenters from the Fa
 culty of Law and the Faculty of Medicine will present about their work (se
 e below). The presentations will be followed by a moderated panel discussi
 on with questions from the audience. There will also be time for networkin
 g and fika. Very welcome!Presentations:From the faculty of law:(Petra Holm
 berg and Ana Nordberg)As we rely on digital tools and AI to enhance health
  and social care\, a critical question arises: How do "connected objects" 
 affect the safety and independence of the elderly?Connected objects\, ofte
 n referred to as smart devices\, are physical objects characterised by the
 ir ability to sense or act on their environment and communicate with each 
 other and other computers. They are commercially available in a wide range
  of sizes and capacities\, including smartwatches\, smartphones\, househol
 d appliances equipped with sensors\, and health-monitoring bracelets\, des
 igned to make life easier. They facilitate communication\, task management
 \, health monitoring and social connection. For the elderly\, these tools 
 could be game changers\, helping them live independently in their own home
 s for longer\, even if they live alone.Our research examined the challenge
 s of using connected objects\, with a special focus on data accuracy\, acc
 essibility\, and user privacy. We found several issues that may affect old
 er adults more than younger users. First\, the reliability of these device
 s—and the quality of the data they produce—depends heavily on how they
  are used. Older adults may unintentionally use them in ways that reduce d
 ata accuracy.Second\, upcoming European legislation (European Health Data 
 Space Act) will give users more control over their data and allow them to 
 transfer it more easily. But will these rights be accessible and usable fo
 r elderly people? Awareness of data protection is already low among users 
 of connected devices\, and older adults are especially at risk of being le
 ft out.This issue goes beyond technology. It’s about empowering the elde
 rly to use tools that support their well-being while also protecting their
  safety\, privacy\, and rights. As digital care continues to grow\, making
  the needs of elderly users a priority is essential. If we don’t\, we ri
 sk excluding them from the benefits of this technological shift.From the f
 aculty of medicine:(Samantha Svärdh and William Son Galanza)Will present 
 their work with technologies used in care for older adults and use of AI i
 n monitoring activities in the homes of older adults.Panel discussion with
  presenters as well as Sofi Fristedt and Steven Schmidt (moderator Yana Li
