The use of sensing systems in the home has the potential to impact various research areas such as chronic care management, aging in place, and sustainability. A major challenge remains in identifying and developing truly ubiquitous sensing solutions that address deployment challenges of cost-effectiveness, installation, maintenance and overall acceptability for a general audience. In the home, the goal of practical ubiquity has led Shwetak Patel of Georgia Institute of Technology to develop a new sensing approach, which he calls "Infrastructure Mediated Sensing," or IMS. In this University of Washington program, learn more about infrastructure mediation, which refers to the simple augmentation and probing of existing home infrastructure, such as the electrical power lines, plumbing, or HVAC systems, to sense human activity.
