Many research technologies are designed to help older adults stay in their homes for as long as possible, but few are tested in real homes for any length of time. The HomeSHARE initiative is a planned geographically distributed testbed to design, develop, and evaluate pervasive home-based technologies for aging-in-place. A HomeSHARE kit includes a baseline package of hardware with networking, sensors, storage, and interface components that older adults and researchers can access locally or remotely.
