How do Australians feel about online privacy?
Our survey of 239 people revealed low awareness, high concern, and dissatisfaction with current data practices. It's time for more transparency and stronger protections.

We did a deep dive into how digital health tools are designed for older adults — and found big gaps in how their needs are understood. Requirements engineering methods vary a lot, and emotional/social aspects often miss out. Plenty of room to improve! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
