Can We Predict a Fall Before It Happens? | Episode 4 | Designing for Prevention | Building a Smart Dashboard to Support Safer Aging

Falls are one of the biggest risks to older adults in residential care, but what if we could predict them before they happen? In this episode, we explore the development of a predictive dashboard designed to support caregivers with prescriptive decision-making for fall prevention. We discuss: How predictive dashboards work in aged care settings The role of user-centered design in building real-world tools Why prescriptive decision support matters for caregivers How technology can shift care from reactive to proactive Join us as we look at how smart design and thoughtful tech can create safer environments for aging, one informed decision at a time.

Can a Home Sense Trouble? | Episode 3 | Ambient Tech for Early Detection | How Sensors Can Spot Health Changes in Older Adults

In this episode, we explore how ambient sensor systems are changing the game in elder care — quietly monitoring daily patterns to detect early signs of health issues before they become emergencies. We’ll cover: * What ambient sensors are and how they work * How subtle changes in behavior can signal health concerns * Real-world examples of early detection in action * The promise (and limits) of passive monitoring at home Tune in to see how the future of care might already be embedded in the walls around us — always on, always listening, and always caring.

Can a Room Read Your Heart? | Episode 2 | Digital Biomarkers in Action | A Case Study in Ambient Sensing for Heart Health

In this episode, we explore how ambient sensing is unlocking a new frontier in elder care through digital biomarkers — subtle, data-driven signals that can help detect changes in heart health before symptoms appear. We dive into: * What digital biomarkers are and why they matter * How non-invasive sensors can "listen" to the body through the environment * A real-life case study showing early signs of cardiac risk * What this means for the future of preventive care at home Join us as we unpack how the quietest corners of a home might just hold the loudest clues to our well-being.
