The world is rapidly aging. The challenge of providing a smart living environment for the elderly so as to reduce health hazard and risk, improve quality of living (both physical and mental) and expand their social connectivity is in need of new ideas and technological innovation. Building on what you learned in class about the basics of smart sensor and control, propose the design of a new smart device/application that can improve the safety and quality of living for the elderly on the daily basis. In the proposal, provide the following key points: (1) justification for the particular problem/difficulty for the elderly that you intend to address with your new tech design; (2) the specific design of the new device/application, in particular highlighting the innovative components; (3) the potential technical challenges when realizing the design into actual product; (4) aspects of the design that can be further improved and developed.
