Older adults want to age in place at home. Sensor technology has the potential to help by monitoring individuals' health status, detecting emergency situations, and notifying health care providers. Researchers at the University of Missouri are investigating the impact of registered nurse care coordination and technology on the ability of older adults to age in place. Technology coupled with care coordination has improved clinical outcomes. This article presents an overview of the Aging in Place research, TigerPlace as a Missouri-sponsored Aging in Place facility, and the sensor technology developed to support Aging in Place.
老年人希望在家中安享晚年。传感器技术具有监测个人健康状况、检测紧急情况和通知医疗保健提供者的潜力,从而帮助老年人实现这一愿望。密苏里大学的研究人员正在调查注册护士护理协调和技术对老年人实现居家养老能力的影响。技术与护理协调相结合,改善了临床结果。本文概述了“就地老龄化”研究、作为密苏里州资助的“就地老龄化”设施的 TigerPlace 以及为支持“就地老龄化”而开发的传感器技术。
