A research 30_________ out by Johann Siau, Senior Lecturer at the University of Hertfordshires School of Engineering and Technology, builds on the Universitys InterHome project 31_________ at creating a home that monitors people living at home who are ill or elderly. Weve developed a wrist-band type device, says Johann Siau, which allows us to monitor the condition of an elderly person, or 32_________ is wearing the device. It allows us to collect data of a person, to find out if the person has fallen or is away from where they are 33_________ to be. It connects an elderly person with an assisted-living type device with the InterHome. The assisted-living project is part of the Universitys wider InterHome project, which is the development of a smart house. The InterHome is not just a prototype or a vehicle for research, its a study tool where students from a range of scientific disciplines 34_________ to learn and develop technology. The InterHome incorporates the latest broadband technology, mobile data and communication. Researchers and students make sure all the technology works together. It requires a variety of skills from students electronic engineers, computer students, design students. The current plan we are elaborating 35_________ is a smart home project in Watford with some commercial companies, says Johann Siau. We are 36_________ at how a smarter home can provide extra value services.
