Senior Smart Homes - Big Brother or Brave New World?

High tech developments in home automation and health monitoring devices are revolutionising senior living and aged care.

New devices geared to suit older people offer the potential to stay living independently for longer, and defer or even avoid entirely the need to move into a health care facility. They include home sensors, medication and health alerts, GPS locators, remote fall monitors, webcams and even robots. The Australian Government has just announced funding for an e-health pilot scheme under the National Broadband program.

Brave New World or Big Brother? What will this mean for you and your family?
