Slide6:- As the first residential laboratory of its type, the Aware Home has received great media attention and provided a valuable venue demonstrating the multidisciplinary nature of Georgia Tech research. Since 2000, Aware Home Research Initiative researchers have leveraged the facility to investigate many areas of research including: data delivery to the home, innovative sensing and control infrastructure, and a variety of applications to support home residents. One of the strongest areas in this research is on health and wellness in the home with significant efforts focused on technology to support aging-in-place and the caregivers of children with developmental disabilities, such as autism. This research has influenced both the broader research community and industry in considering the importance of the home in our future.

    Imagine, a house that took care of you! No longer would you need to clean, cook, or remember agendas and plans, and reading on your own? Nahh, your “smart-house” can do that for you as well! But of course this is all fiction, right? I mean, who has ever heard of a house that can do all of the work and maintenance itself? It’s just not real. Simply impossible; well that is, in today’s world, the society of the 21st century.

    Looking at this unit I have discovered several styles of assessment, the questioning model, which is something I often do when assessing a resident, as I personally feel it can be impersonal sat filling in a form in front of them, as if they have to pass a certain test to be allowed to come to the Home. I prefer to ask, listen, process the information, and then go and fill out the form after I have finished chatting to the resident. This method is however led by me as the service provider; I have to decide if our Home is able to meet their needs as I ask some of the questions that we have on our assessment form that we use.…
