Ethics approval and consent to participate

: The current study was conducted in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration and the ethical guidelines of Swedish Research Council. No ethical approval was obtained because this study involves healthy volunteers outside the healthcare system who were recruited from a national organisation for seniors. In addition, the participants expressed an interest and willingness to try new technology in their everyday lives. Because the participants were not in a dependent relationship with the researchers, Swedish requirements for seeking ethics approval are optional. Nonetheless, local and international ethical guidelines were followed. When seeking informed consent from participants, information was provided both in writing and verbally before entering the study on the aim of the research, the methods used, how the results will be presented, and the right to decline to participate in the study or to withdraw consent to participate at any time without further explanation. Informed consent from participants was provided verbally and audio recorded.
