As people age their health conditions deteriorate
Elderly more likely to be
Less mobility
Loss of vision & hearing
Memory loss

4. Variety of solutions
Extra family care
Nursing Homes
Hospice

5. Our Solution

6. Variations of Smart Homes
GT Aware Home
MavHome
Gator Tech Smart House
AAL
SensorRAUM
WASP

The Ambient Sensor Network (ASN)
The Personal Mobile Hub (PMH)
The Remote Data Collector (RDC)
The Assistance Providers

9. Smart devices make smart homes!

10. More smart devices

11. Results from sensors

12. Issues Privacy Variability
Training healthcare professionals to be fluent in new tech
Scalability

13. Privacy Constantly monitored Video imagery & sound recordings
Daily movements & actives
Personal routines
Personal health data

14. Variability Patients have different needs
Patient can have different conditions
As patients progress we must adapt
Need extendable infrastructure

15. Scalability Transforming homes to be smart homes Cost overhead
Teaching elderly to use systems
Have enough educated nurses & doctors to use system
Customized personal needs
Adapt over time to progress & patient needs

16. Training healthcare professionals to be fluent in SH tech
New tech requires people to learn how to use it
