The project's main objectives were: to establish the technical possibilities of current domestic monitoring, control and communications technologies which will improve quality of life for the elderly in their own homes and aid statutory and voluntary agencies in providing care; to develop a detailed understanding of the social context  in which control technologies will be expected to operate; to investigate added-value services for combined control and communications technologies; to develop guidelines for user interfaces to emerging  technologies that are acceptable to the user community; and to determine the economic feasibility, both for service providers and for customers, of different levels of investment in networked control systems and their operating costs.
