Sensors monitor old people at home

Yesterday, I read an article on CNN.com called “Big Brother beats the nursing home.” This was an interesting looking article so I read it through and I was right. Scientists have created a series of sensors or cameras that the elderly can put in their homes so they can stay independent as long as possible. The sensors are placed all over the house so no matter where the person is, they are always picked up by a sensor. This way, whoever is monitoring knows when the person gets into the tub, is putting together a jigsaw puzzle in the den, or even opening the fridge. I thought this was a really interesting story and a good example of how an interesting headline can pull in a reader like me.
I’ll have to give this company a call, I suppose.
Who is at the other end of the monitor, and what do they have acceess to?
