Abstrakt:	Technology provides new opportunities to understand and optimize the relationship between the home indoor environmental quality and health outcomes in older adults. We aimed to establish proof-of-concept and feasibility of remote, real-time, high-frequency, and simultaneous monitoring of select environmental variables and outcomes related to health and wellbeing in older adults. Thirty-four participants (27 were female) with an average age (SD) of 81 years (±7.1) were recruited from community and supportive housing environments. Environmental sensors were installed in each home and participants were asked to use a wearable device on their finger and answer smartphone-based questionnaires on a daily basis. Further, a subgroup of participants were asked to complete tablet-based cognitive tests on a daily basis. Average compliance with the wearable (time worn properly / total time with device) was 81%. Participants responded to 69% of daily smartphone surveys and completed 80% of the prescribed cognitive tests. These results suggest that it is feasible to study the impact of the home thermal environment and air quality on biological rhythms, cognition, and other outcomes in older adults. However, the success of non-passive data collection elements may be contingent upon baseline cognition.
