abstract = {We describe our ongoing research in the area of developing and testing technologies for successful aging. Sensing and perception technologies can enable a home environment to be aware of the whereabouts and activities of its occupants. Motivated by the desire to use such an awareness to help maintain independence and quality of life for an aging population, we describe the technological, design and engineering research challenges inherent in this problem domain. Our work is situated in the Georgia Tech Broadband Institute's Residential Laboratory, a unique living laboratory for this exploration of ubiquitous computing in a domestic setting.},

abstract = {A growing social problem in the U.S. and elsewhere is supporting older adults who want to continue living independently as opposed to moving to an institutional care setting. The ``Aging in Place'' project strives to delay taking that first step away from the family home. Through the careful placement of technological support we believe older adults can continue living in their own homes longer. 

 

The goal of our research is to take a three-pronged approach to understanding the potential of such environmental supports. The research team combines expertise in human-computer-interaction, computational perception, and cognitive aging. Together the team is assessing the feasibility of designing environments that aid older individuals in maintaining their independence. Based on our initial research, we are dividing this work into three parts: recognizing and adverting crisis, assisting daily routines, and supporting peace of mind for adult children.},
