Deakin University along with several key partner companies and organisations aim to address societal gaps in quality of care with approved funding from the Australian Research Council (ARC).

The research and development activities conducted by the hub aim to develop intelligent sensed spaces within residential homes and aged care facilities. Such spaces will provide a range of proactive physical, cognitive and social support to residents, thus increasing the quality of care provided to Australia’s ageing population.
The University of Technology Sydney joined the hub in 2019 with industry partners Uniting and Interrelate. Digital technology projects undertaken by the hub will support our community from children and adolescents to older Australians.
