Contribution

It introduces a novel evaluation protocol combining traditional user-centered methods with Web Usage Mining for long-term, large-scale analysis.

Findings

Protocol enables comprehensive data collection over extended periods

Combines qualitative and quantitative insights into user interactions

Aims to validate the positive effects of digital tools on elderly well-being

Abstract

The MNESIS Project aims to see whether the use of computerized environment by elderly people in medicalized residences stimulates their cognitive capacities and contributes to a better integration, recognition or acceptance within their social environment (friends, family, medical staff). In this paper we present the protocol of evaluation that is defined to check this assumption. This protocol is between users' centred traditional protocols (built on investigations and indirect observation) and studies of Web Usage Mining (where knowledge databases about the uses are built from traces of use). It allows collecting direct and indirect information on a large scale and over long periods.
