Healthy at
Home 

Healthy at Home (H@H) is pioneering a sensor-driven care ecosystem designed to enhance the home experience aging individuals, optimizing their healthcare for tangible benefits to both them and their support community. By leveraging sensors, software, Machine Learning (ML), Artificial Intelligence (AI), H@H will provide valuable data and actionable alerts to guide necessary care.

 

The initiative emphasizes virtual telehealth and at-home care models to prioritize home-based support over hospital visits. What sets H@H apart is its integration of sensor technology and care models with existing data and IT systems Local Health Districts, starting with SESLHD and expanding to Gosford LHD, with a focus on validating a comprehensive ecosystem rather than individual devices.

​

Healthy@Home was co-created with the NSW Smart Sensing Network (NSSN). The NSSN is a not-for-profit, semi-government organisation with a remit from the Office of the Chief Scientist and with nine NSW university members. 

It's a mammoth task.....

Helping more of the ageing population to stay at home and out of hospital involves the planning system (which supplies housing for the population and regulates property) and the health system (which supports the health and wellbeing of the population as they age in place). It needs buy in and support from State and Federal Government alongside the expertise of leading industry participants and NSW universities.  

​

It's a complex interconnected ecosystem which the team have broken into a series of 'bite sized chunks', each with a discreet focus requiring different expertise whilst each contributing to the overall project.  The 'Elephant' illustration was our simple way of communicating our  approach.     

​​

FASTlab's Professor Paul Egglestone and Professor Jason Prior (UTS) are leading H@H using a human-centred co-design approach and Integrative Care models.

H&H Current Research

The Consortium is collaborating on a number of funded research projects  related to its overarching ambition - to ensure people are able to remain in their homes as they get older  

Meaningful Measures in the Home

Meaningful Measures in the Home will determine the most important physiological measures for ageing people living at home using IoT sensors, creating a hierarchy of meaningful Measures in the home.
