Smarter, Safer Homes for the Ageing and Disabled Person Pilot Study to investigate the feasibility, acceptance, usage and impact of providing a smart home platform with environmental sensors and mobile techniques to facilitate safe living of older and disabled Australians.

No specific intervention or treatment. All participant homes will have environmental sensors and medical devices installed for health, wellbeing and activity monitoring and a corresponding support tablet PC and application over a period of 12 months. Participants are encouraged to do regular measurements of their body weight, blood pressure, body temperature, and blood glucose (only when necessary) at least once per week. They can do these measurements by themselves, or clinical/nursing staff from our trial collaborators can arrange weekly visits to help them do these measurements. All measurements will be automatically uploaded to our data server, with no requirements of participants' manually inputs. The system also provides a courtesy videoconference module that only intends to provide another way for participants to communicate with their family members, and/or healthcare providers. We will not use this module to communicate with participants. However we do record number of usages of this videoconference module as an index of their activity level of social connectivity for their self-monitor purpose. Environmental sensors are: *Motion sensor – detects indoor movements *Power sensor – detects power usages of electrical appliances *Contact sensor – detects open/close of doors including front/back doors, fridge *Temperature/humidity – detects changes in temperature or humidity in bathroom or kitchen *Accelerometer – detect movements on beds, such as tossing and turning during sleep Medical devices are: *AND UA-321PBT scale – measures human body weight *AND UA-767PBT – measures blood pressure *Myglucohealth Glucometer – measures blood glucose level *Tunstall Ear thermometer - measures body temperature Information from sensors will be collected and made available to participants for a period of 12 months in an easy to understand format on iPads to provide an overview of their health, well-being and activity levels. Furthermore, data will be analysed to assess for correlations with episodes of illness and to determine a new way of scoring daily activity for health and wellbeing monitoring purposes. A corresponding Internet portal application will be provided to their family, friend or relative assigned by the participant.
