We are doing a year long student team project on developing a home monitoring system for the elderly, and looking for input on what actual caregivers (in our case, children of elderly parents) would like to see in such a system.

We know a few things: people do not like to hang sensors/monitors from their necks (identifies them as incapable), may have trouble charging any wearables on their hands (forget, lose charger, ...), do not like intrusive monitoring (so, has to be passive), and would like to feel empowered to help themselves.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
