Using sensor technology to support health and wellbeing at home.

Many long-term health conditions require continuous management outside of a hospital setting, including diabetes, stroke, respiratory conditions, cardiovascular and musculoskeletal disease.

SPHERE (Sensor Platform for Healthcare in a Residential Environment) was a five-year research project led by University of Bristol that developed a range of sensors to help build a picture of how we live in our homes, in order to spot issues that might indicate a medical or well-being problem.

KWMC worked closely with SPHERE partners to involve local people in the development of the project through an ongoing process of testing and feedback.
