Floor tiles that measure your respiration rate as you walk across them. A door knob that calculates your blood pressure the moment you grip it.
With support from a new federal program, researchers from Carleton University will study such technology and its potential to help seniors through constant yet unobtrusive health monitoring that requires no active input from user or caregiver.
The project at Carleton and the Bruyère Research Institute will focus on the design and testing of sensors that can be built into common, everyday household objects, from tiles to doorknobs and beds to appliances. Leading the team are Rafik Goubran, dean of the faculty of engineering and design, and physician and adjunct professor Frank Knoefel, the university said Monday.
Carleton is among 26 universities and more than 70 industry and non-profit organizations in Age-well, a research group that will receive $36 million over five years to develop technology that can help seniors live independently and safely at home. The funding from the government’s Network Centres of Excellence program was announced in Toronto on Monday by Alice Wong, minister of state for seniors.
