Smart homes helping older adults live safely and independently


One morning, an older man doesn’t go to the kitchen for breakfast as he usually does. Instead, he’s still sitting on the edge of his bed, feeling light‑headed. His smart home’s sensors notice the change in his routine and heart rate and send an alert to his caregiver, who checks in right away. He’s reassured that if it had been something serious, help could have been on the way in minutes.

This scene could soon be a reality for many older adults. Smart home technology is evolving to help people age safely and independently in the comfort of their own homes.

And that’s precisely the goal of a collaborative project involving the NRC’s Ěý(´ˇľ±±Ę), ĐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ University, and Canadian industry leaders that aims to integrate health monitoring into age-friendly homes.
