The source provides an overview of the Johns Hopkins Human Aging Project (HAP) and its new 10,000-square-foot Geriatrics Engineering hub at Bayview Medical Center, which opened to address major challenges faced by older adults. This collaborative center unites disciplines such as engineering, medicine, and public health to develop and test technology-driven solutions using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and sensors. Research efforts, including the AI & Technology Collaboratory for Aging Research (AITC), focus on creating scalable and affordable interventions for issues like social isolation, mobility problems, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. The hub utilizes a model apartment for realistic testing of technologies, aiming to help seniors live safely and independently at home for longer.
