Long-term care helps the elderly perform key day-to-day tasks such aseating, personal care and medication. Providing this help places a significant burden on caregivers, adding up to unsustainable costs to both individuals and society. One approach to reducing the cost is to have machines assist in the provision of care. However, what these machines will do, and how they will do it, is only beginning to be well understood. In this talk, Dr. Philipose will present insights from seven years ofresearch at Intel Labs into these questions. .MOV file of the talk can be downloaded here.  Please note that this video is encoded in a format that may not work in many video players.
