The Smart Environments Research Group at Ulster University studies smart home technologies and ambient assisted living. They research areas like activity recognition, assistive technologies, and mobile applications. Clinically, they focus on supporting people with conditions like dementia, chronic pain, and autism through home-based monitoring and self-management tools. Their research aims to develop technologies that allow independent living for older adults and those with disabilities. They have experience collaborating with hospitals and healthcare organizations to evaluate these technologies and transfer the results to improve clinical care and commercial products.
