About the Study

The AGING-WELL study uses technology to measure activity in the home, with the hope of helping people remain independent as they age. By participating in this 4-year long study, you'll be contributing to the development of technologies that aim to increase the quality of life for older adults.

What will I do?

  • Measurement of daily activity patterns by devices like a home computer, pillbox, and car sensor

  • Health surveys and memory activities online

  • Annual memory testing


How can I join this study?

You may qualify to participate if you:

  • Live independently or with a partner (not in assisted living)

  • Are at least 65 years old

  • Use a computer or be willing to use a study-provided one

  • Drive your own car at least once a week


Am I compensated?

Compensation for your time is provided at $40 per month and $50 per study visit.
