South Carolina's Senior SMART promises healthier future for older adults

Led by the University of South Carolina, SeniorSMART involves groundbreaking research, products and services to improve the lives of older adults and preserve their independence. It focuses on three key areas: SmartHome connects researchers in social work and engineering, and will enable older adults to stay in their own homes longer through the use of new technologies and community services.




SmartBrain promotes brain health while working to prevent cognitive decline and the effects of brain diseases, including Alzheimer's and stroke. SmartWheels is designed to help seniors maintain the ability to drive safely and rehabilitate those who have temporarily lost that ability due to health issues. This team leads research that uses state-of-the-art driving simulator technology and interventions to improve transportation and physical mobility for older adults.
