Abstract
"Age-Friendly, Smart, Sustainable, and Equitable Technologies for Aging in Place (ASSETs for AIP), is an ongoing, grant-funded demonstration project involving an occupational therapist as part of an interdisciplinary team with a registered nurse and a licensed clinical social worker. Working with a population of community-dwelling older adults and adults with disabilities, the team uses passive motion sensors and smartwatches to remotely monitor clients’ activity and provide guidance for clients to manage their own care needs. In this model, OT plays a crucial role in self-advocacy training, activity analysis, and environmental modification. In this poster, we examine the model of ASSETs for AIP to shed light on the distinct value OT brings to the interdisciplinary care model of technology-enhanced health coaching."--Introduction
