38、mbers a students name or even something special about that student, it communicates to him that he is cared for.

45、here appears a new housing platform which can detect the stress on electricity and the stress on the heart.“There is a growing population of elderly people, and there are statistics to show that more and more of them are going to live alone in the home,” said Johann Siau, a senior lecturer at the Un

User feedback helps the system adapt to routines, saving on electricity.While thinking about responding to user behavior and an increasingly elderly population, the researchers decided to add wristband (手腕带) technology that senses important organs o
