Remote monitoring of older adults with COPD for infection and fall detection using smart-home technology

To meet the increasing medical needs of our aging population, remote monitoring systems will help caregivers automate many of their time-consuming tasks and help patients rapidly detect medical anomalies to facilitate faster diagnoses and better outcomes. This project will work on the development of smart-home technology that monitors mobility and vital signs in older women and men with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The end goal of this system will be to provide healthcare providers with real-time patient data, automatically detect medical abnormalities for them, and allow older adults to live in their own homes longer.
