Smart Home for Aging in Place

Smart home technology can help seniors live independently longer while giving caregivers peace of mind. The key is choosing the right devices and keeping the interface simple.

This course covers how to set up a smart home specifically designed for aging in place. You'll learn about fall detection systems, automated medication reminders, voice-controlled lighting and climate, motion-based activity monitoring, and emergency alert systems. We focus on solutions that are simple to use for non-technical users, with minimal interaction required. We also cover remote monitoring dashboards for family caregivers and how to balance safety with privacy and dignity.
