New Frontiers in Research Fund (NFRF) – Concordia


The goal of the proposed project is to research aging-in-place with everyday technologies associated with
“smart homes”. How can these smart technologies be leveraged to enhance the comfort, health, safety and
well-being of senior occupants without the need for additional infrastructure? This project will investigate the potential of smart thermostats with motion detectors and simple wearables to document, understand, and communicate activities of daily living (ADL) of senior occupants.
