A House that Monitors is Residents

A smart house project designed to monitor residents, is being promoted as a way to give the elderly options for independent living. The �smart home� projectmay be an option for those who are ill or elderly and who may otherwise be left with few options other than assisted living or nursing home care. The home is open to constant internal monitoring of its occupant(s), including sensors that can be worn on clothing that measure health conditions.
