The Faculty of Health’s Ubiquitous Health Technology Lab is conducting a study on modelling activities of daily living using smart home technologies. In this study, we will be collecting in-home environment data through the monitoring of temperature, humidity, presence/motion, and air quality, with Swidget sensors and ecobee sensors. Health parameter data will be collected using the Empatica, Fitbit Sense and Fitbit Aria devices. Participants in the study will be asked to perform some daily activities while being guided (ex. turning on lights, putting items away) and monitored by the researchers through cameras. They will also be asked to complete a pre-study questionnaire (approximately 10-12 mins) at the beginning of the study. Each participant will be rewarded $15/h for their study participation, in appreciation for their time.
