Smart homes to care for the world’s aging population

Summary

MBZUAI Professor Fakherddine Karray is developing deep learning algorithms for human activity recognition to monitor the health and safety of elderly people. The AI tools analyze movement, posture, and facial expressions to detect early warning signs of health emergencies. Remote patient monitoring systems integrate smart devices and secure communication to allow elderly patients to stay at home and communicate with healthcare providers. Why it matters: AI-powered smart homes can provide affordable healthcare solutions for the rapidly growing elderly population in the region and worldwide.
