The Canadian population is ageing. In 2010, an estimated 4.8 million Canadians were 65 years of age or older. By 2051, about one in four Canadians are expected to be of age 65 years or older. With such a significant bias towards an ageing population in Canada, an enormous amount of resources need to be devoted to the services to cater for the elderly. This proposal is based on the premise that living in their own home increases the quality of life of elderly, increases the options for caregivers and reduces the pressure on health-care resources. This program of research aims to provide a lower-cost, smart home monitoring solution that will reduce the risk of an unattended emergency. Proposed research will advance the state of the art in using video, depth, motion and audio sensors to determine the state of well-being of occupants within the monitored home.

加拿大人口正在老龄化。2010年，估计有480万加拿大人年龄在65岁或以上。到2051年，大约四分之一的加拿大人预计将达到65岁或以上。由于加拿大人口老龄化的趋势如此明显，因此需要投入大量资源为老年人提供服务。这一建议的前提是，住在自己家里可以提高老年人的生活质量，增加照顾者的选择，减少对保健资源的压力。该研究计划旨在提供一种低成本的智能家居监控解决方案，以降低无人值守紧急情况的风险。拟议的研究将推进使用视频，深度，运动和音频传感器来确定被监控家庭内居住者的健康状态的最新技术水平。
