"Our main work is creating smart technology for healthcare, especially for the elderly. Using smart homes, phones, wearables, and in-situ sensors, our technology is applied to patients with dementia, or obesity. We are also performing research for smart cities of the future. In particular, the smart cities work focuses on improving services and ensuring safety of smart cities."
