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显眼的持续监测可以提供有用的嵌入式健康评估，即基于每个人的个人活动模式和基线健康状况对健康变化的持续评估，并可以改善健康结果。特别是对老年人来说，及早识别和评估问题为干预提供了一个机会之窗，以便在问题变得灾难性并需要医院或疗养院护理之前缓解问题。该项目通过一个新的交互式运动教练界面来加强对个人的监控，该界面将远程物理治疗师与家中的高级客户连接起来。支持GENI的网络将被纳入，以支持通过高清晰度视频进行实时交互。拟议的项目将达到以下目标：*开发一个集成的交互界面，用于显示家庭步态历史，并指导远程用户以适当的锻炼形式进行锻炼。*扩展集成系统，以支持Geni-Slice覆盖网络频道。*在老年人独立生活的家庭中部署集成的监测和指导系统。该项目将影响老年人的技术、医疗保健、政策、老年人的生活质量，以及他们家庭的安心。技术影响包括对GENI支持的网络和老年人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得灾难性之前检测这些问题的新方法。该项目的成果将通过传统的学术出版物和通过美国Ignite会议和大学？S工程周开放日向普通公众传播，在这次活动中，数百名K-12学生参观了学院。此外，该项目将招收本科生，特别是女性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.
