Abstract

The Aware Home Research Initiative (AHRI) at Georgia Tech is devoted to the multidisciplinary exploration of emerging technologies and services based in the home. Starting in 1998, our collection of faculty and students has created a unique research facility that allows us to simulate and evaluate user experiences with off-the-shelf and state-of-the-art technologies. With specific expertise in health, education, entertainment and usable security, we are able to apply our research to problems of significant social and economic impact.

How to Design Smart Homes for Older Persons: The Somatic Capability Assessment as an Answer to Current Design Challenges
AIES '22: Proceedings of the 2022 AAAI/ACM Conference on AI, Ethics, and Society

Older persons have had decades to get to know their environment - and usually their home - through their own somatic experience. This somatic or "felt" experience enables them to assess their own capabilities when it comes to executing activities of ...
Embedded assessment of wellness with smart home sensors
UbiComp '10 Adjunct: Proceedings of the 12th ACM international conference adjunct papers on Ubiquitous computing - Adjunct

Embedded home sensors hold the promise of helping older adults age in place. They can help older adults maintain awareness of their functional abilities, a critical step for early detection of decline. In this proposal, I describe my research in ...
Envisioning an ambient smart calendar to support aging in place
UbiComp '16: Proceedings of the 2016 ACM International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing: Adjunct

The world's population is aging, and this shift in demographics will place a high burden on the world's healthcare systems. Smart technology provides a potential method of addressing the demands of these changing demographics. In this paper, we describe ...
