Integrating Voice-Assisted Technology with an In-Home Sensor System: Exploring the Development of a Participant-Based Design Study

Authors Info & Claims
Published:02 February 2021Publication History

ABSTRACT

This paper describes the iterative process in which voice-assisted technology (VAT) has been integrated with an in-home sensor system to enable older adults to better manage their health. Through pilot research, a user interface was developed and is currently being deployed in older adults' homes. This ongoing research has the ability to help older adults remain independent in their own homes and can assist informal caregivers in providing at-home supports
