- What should I watch out for with AI in elderly care & long-term care?
- You work with special category personal data (health) of vulnerable clients who often cannot consent for themselves. Choose providers with NEN 7510 and ISO 27001, EU hosting and a data processing agreement, and check whether voice recordings are retained or used for training. Cameras and sensors require a DPIA, a case-by-case assessment (care plan, Care and Coercion Act) and clear agreements on who sees images or alerts. Reports drafted by AI remain the responsibility of the care worker: always read them back before saving.
