Home Sensors Enable Seniors To Live Independently

The video discusses the use of sensor technology to monitor the movements of elderly residents at Tiger Place apartments in Columbia, Missouri. Supported by the National Science Foundation and US Ignite, researchers aim to keep seniors healthy and independent by tracking subtle changes in their movements. Sensors, including non-invasive bed sensors, monitor heart and breathing rates, alerting caregivers to potential health issues. This technology could soon be available for anyone with chronic health conditions, offering extra monitoring at home.

What are some potential early signs of health issues that the technology aims to detect?

In what ways does Marjorie Skubik envision this technology being used beyond monitoring the elderly?
