SMU is currently working on a project called SHINESeniors that detects through sensory devices installed in an intelligent home the way the elderly move about and alerts social workers when something unusual happens. The devices can also help regulate the air quality, temperature, noise levels and other environmental factors in the home. This project has received funding from the Ministry of National Development and the National Research Foundation under the Land and Liveability National Innovation Challenge. Researchers are working with various government agencies, the Agency for Science, Technology and Research, as well as voluntary welfare organisations to launch such intelligent homes in three years' time, so as to help Singaporeans age in place.
