Americans are living longer, and research shows that seniors are embracing independence, and will benefit from living in the same place. These are the rationale for 'Aging in Place' and the development of Tiger Place, an 'Aging in Place' Environment in Columbia Missouri. Our goal is to minimize intrusion, allow the resident complete control over privacy and treatment (if any), and to provide substantive...
VALUE is a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the impact of a home telehealth program on the ability of frail elderly individuals to remain living independently in their own home as their self-care abilities decline. VALUE uses broadband access to provide virtual visits with a home care nurse, a Web portal for ordering assisted living services, physiological monitoring, and access to the Internet...
With the aging population, the number of individuals requiring long-term care is expected to dramatically increase in the next twenty years, placing an increasing burden on healthcare. Many patients are admitted to assisted living facilities at a fairly early stage due to their inability to perform normal daily living activities. The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of technology for...

We study the use of embedded and worn sensors to unobtrusively detect the activities of daily living (ADL). Our aim is to find the minimum set of sensors required to detect these basic tasks. In this exploratory work, we analyze the publicly available 'Intense Activity' dataset from the MIT PlaceLab project and study the classification of eating and meal preparation vs. other activities. We find that...
