Abstract
Unlike "mainframe healthcare," personal wellness technologies can scale with the needs of an aging population. They can also drive a demanding specification for the requirements of ubiquitous, proactive computing in everyday life. Ultimately, aging-in-place research supports a broader vision of "personal wellness systems" that provide highly individualized support for home based healthcare to all age groups.
