Description
- Connect homes to detect emergency events and alert residents via phone or app, and initiate contacting first responders
- Demonstrate how to extend a connected safe home to everyone at a low-incremental cost
- Focus on seniors, their care givers, and property managers
Challenges
- Creating a standard process for collecting and storing data from various sensors operating on different platforms
- Piloting new applications of existing technology
- Scaling the project beyond the pilot stage across the County
- Collaborating with service providers to maximize opportunities for seniors to connect with services via
Solutions
TBD
Major Requirements
- Collaborate with seniors and experts on seniors and aging and emergency management to identify potential needs of seniors living independently
- Engage #IoT experts to develop #IoT solutions to address the needs of seniors living independently
- Pilot #IoT solutions in the apartments of seniors living independently
- Measure ongoing success of the program and adapt program as necessary

Standards, Replicability, Scalability, and Sustainability
- Our project uses established Machine-to-Machine communications standards (MQTT) to provide real-time data to data consumers
- Actuators and Dashboards can subscribe to data streams from any data producer
- Most of the components of the sensing habitat are composed of open-source software and off-the-shelf hardware, allowing ready replicability
- The data habitat is based on a MQTT transmission protocol, with consumers subscribing only to relevant feeds, promoting scalability
Cybersecurity and Privacy
TBD
Impacts
- Help aging households in Montgomery County live independently more confidently
- Connect vulnerable residents in the County to critical services more efficiently
- Prevent deaths from common accidents among seniors (e.g., fall cannot get up, unnoticed gas leak)
Demonstration/Deployment
- Phase I Pilot/Demonstration:
- Network infrastructure developed
- Sensors deployed in volunteer resident homes
- Phase II Deployment:
- Continue developing new sensors to pilot
