点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

As the number of elderly in need of support grows, a mitigating factor in escalating health care costs isthe proper application of technology. Indeed, part of the answer is to develop technological innovationsthat allow an elder population to successfully 'age in place' with dignity and a sense of involvement withtheir community, involving the elderly as part of the research team. This small grant will allow planning for initial research on this topic. The research team includes expertise in computer science (vision, robotics, human-computer interface) and social work (gerontology) and features various partnerships with government agencies.
