Design and Development of a Home Safe Living Systemfor Aging, Rehabilitation, and Geriatrics

The main objective of the project is to develop a software system to expertly capture an electronic health profile of a client with physical and/or cognitive disabilities to determine their level of functional ability, mobility and cognitive ability. Using the profile, the system will expertly assess the client’s ability to live either independently or with the assistance of a caregiver, and recommend the necessary changes. The proposed system requires integration of multiple software modules, such as from Functional Independence Measure (FIM), DGIClinical, VIDex, Invacare, etc. This project will be a fullfledged design, implementation, and extension of our current NSERC Engage project with Home Safe Living Inc. The implementation of the “Home Safe Living System” is applications and innovation oriented. It is planned that new technology with new products and services, possibly patentable, will be developed. If successful, this project will have commercial innovative marketable products and solutions leading from research.
