GradCert in Health-Assistive Smart Environment Design

People have always lived in places that provide shelter and basic comfort. As society and technology advance there is a growing interest in adding intelligence to our living and working environments. Expertise in machine learning, pervasive computing, and sensor networks has matured to the point where they can be integrated into a new field known as smart environments. A major societal impact of smart environments is assisting people with special health needs. To most people home is a sanctuary, yet today those who need special care often must leave home to meet medical needs. Our work force needs individuals who are trained in engineering, psychology, and health care and are are poised to make scientific advances in this field that will benefit society.
