Most individuals desire to live at home as long as possible which becomes more challenging as individuals age or adjust to physical or cognitive changes due to illness, injury, or disease. This workshop will cover the use and application of smart home products and smartphone applications that can be used to give individuals more independence, as well as, provide their caregivers with the ability to monitor them and ease some of the caregiving burdens.
