Georgia Tech’s HomeLab initiative provides
the capability to conduct in-home
research that supports the development of
innovative technologies that promote
health, wellness, and independence for
older adults. HomeLab brings together a
multidisciplinary team of scientists and
engineers and a community of older adults
interested in participating in research.
