Smart Environment Technology for Longitudinal Behavior Analysis and Intervention

Completed

Conditions studied: Dementia

In brief

The world's population is aging and the resulting prevalence of chronic illnesses is a challenge that our society must address. The vision is to address this challenge by designing smart environment technologies that keep older adults functioning independently in their own homes as long as possible. Smart environments have been used as the basis of monitoring activities for residents with health conditions. However, there is currently a lack of large scale, longitudinal research to identify early markers of dementia and other health status changes and to predict functional decline. The objective of this project is to perform a 5-year longitudinal study of older adults performing daily activities in their own smart homes.
