SAM3 Expertise Areas: Sensor Data Fusion

Many aspects of assessment for supporting aging and independence requires the fusion of knowledge from many diverse sensors and technologies. This fusion of sensor knowledge can lead to higher levels of assessment and function.

Fusion Applications

  • Supportive Smart Homes
  • Feedback and reporting systems
  • Longitudinal assessment
  • Wandering and other cognitive assistance
