Summary

The purpose of this study is to learn more about how to maintain health and independence for seniors by developing tools that collect data constantly from their home. Caregivers can then use this information to make decisions about their health care, such as when an individual may not be able to live independently any longer. Specific Aims of this study are: * Aim 1: To identify trends in our data that predict health decline. To serve this aim, we want to test a number of tools that we have developed, such as in-home sensors, to determine which ones are best at measuring health risks in seniors. After collecting information for one year, we will look at which tools could be most useful to provide feedback to seniors and their communities about the process of aging. * Aim 2: To develop a system for analyzing the data we collect and presenting a summary of the data to care teams. * Aim 3: To validate our data and the computer-based tool in senior community settings.
