US-Ignite: EAGER: GENI-Enabled In-Home, Personalized Health Monitoring and Coaching

先前的工作表明，使用家庭传感器对个人进行不引人注目的连续监测提供了有用的嵌入式健康评估，即根据每个人的个人活动模式和基线健康状况对健康变化进行持续评估，并可以改善健康结果。特别是对老年人来说，及早发现和评估问题为采取干预措施提供了机会，在问题变成灾难性的、需要住院或养老院护理之前减轻问题。该项目通过一个新的交互式运动指导界面，将远程物理治疗师与家中的高级客户连接起来，增强了对个人的监控。支持geni的网络将被纳入通过高清视频支持实时交互。拟议的项目将达到以下目标：*开发一个集成的交互式界面，用于显示家庭步态历史和指导远程用户正确的运动形式。*扩展集成系统以支持GENI-slice覆盖网络通道。*在老年人独立生活家中部署综合监控和辅导系统。该项目将影响老年人的技术、医疗保健、政策、生活质量和家人的安心。技术方面的影响包括为老年人提供支持geni的网络和交互界面的重大贡献。结果将进一步嵌入健康评估，并提供在健康问题变成灾难性问题之前发现它们的新方法。项目结果将通过传统的学术出版物传播，并通过美国点燃会议和大学？工程周开放日期间，数百名K-12学生参观了学院。此外，该项目将招收本科生，特别是妇女和代表性不足的群体。

Prior work has shown that the unobtrusive, continuous monitoring of individuals with in-home sensors provides useful embedded health assessment, i.e., the continuous assessment of health changes based on each person's individual activity patterns and baseline health conditions, and can improve health outcomes. Especially for older adults, identifying and assessing problems early provides a window of opportunity for interventions to alleviate problems before they become catastrophic and require hospital or nursing home care.This project augments monitoring of individuals with a new interactive exercise coaching interface that will connect a remote physical therapist to senior clients in the home. GENI-enabled networking will be incorporated to support real-time interaction via high-definition video. The proposed project will meet the following objectives:* Develop an integrated, interactive interface for displaying in-home gait history and coaching remote users on proper exercise form.* Extend the integrated system to support GENI-slice overlay network channels.* Deploy the integrated monitoring and coaching system in senior independent living homesThe project will impact technology, healthcare, policy, quality of life for seniors, and peace of mind for their families. The technology impacts include significant contributions to GENI-enabled networking and interactive interfaces for seniors. Results will further embedded health assessment and offer new ways to detect health problems before they become catastrophic. The project results will be disseminated both through traditional academic publications and by outreach to the general public via the US Ignite conferences and the university?s Engineering Week Open House in which hundreds of K-12 students tour the college. Additionally, the project will recruit undergraduate students, especially women and under-represented groups.
