Abstract
Researchers from a University partnered with a senior housing organization and a technology provider to study the implementation of smart home technologies for seniors living independently. Smart home technologies included in home motion and pressure sensors and an Amazon Echo device. Older adults who received the technology and their designated family members were interviewed to ascertain the impact of the technology on the daily activities and communication.
