house that monitors your every move, from bedside to
bathroom and from medicine cabinet to fridge. The aim, 1__,
is to help the elderly to lead safe and independent lives.
Researchers are working on a 'health house' so sophisticated
that it 2__ only track everyday habits but also check weight
and blood pressure and predict whether a person is 3__ of a
serious fall.
Britain is one of the largest investors in 'telemedicine' - using
medical technology to help chronically ill and older people to
be 4 __ for longer at home rather than in hospitals or care
homes. The system, developed by GE Healthcare and Intel,
uses sensors 5__ track a person's behaviour and send alerts
when unexpected disruptions or data are 6__. Similar
networks 7__ by about 3,000 people in care-home settings but
researchers now hope to introduce a much more sophisticated
model for private homes.
