TU/e will be putting the concept of the ’empathetic home’ to the test. This is a home environment that ’empathizes’ with the ageing resident and thus acts as or supports the voluntary care worker, for example with smart sensors embedded in the walls or floors or solutions of an ecological nature such as an ‘edible wall’ in the senior’s living room. This will be happening in three assisted living centers of RSZK ZorgProfessionals (Eindhoven region), Woningstichting Domus (Roermond) and St. Jozefoord (‘s-Hertogenbosch).
