This project aims to enhance and transform the resilience of older adults in our communities during disasters – this population group is often severely impacted during large events due to the lack of effective triage, comfort, and care.  Through the use of a smart-space platform called CAREDEX, this effort will enable the assimilation and exchange of customized care information rapidly between first responders,  caregivers in senior housing facilities, and older adults in a secure manner.
