Research


Projects related to the larger Smart Home Monitoring project. The development of smart home environments has been getting much attention due to the potential for smart homes to make life easier and safer for inhabitants. Interested in developing technologies which are capable of monitoring the health of inhabitants from within the home to facilitate the aging in place of elderly and disabled persons.

Projects include:
Urinalysis
Medication Compliance Monitoring
Indoor Localization and Monitoring
