About Us

The NEST-CARE center integrates nursing science with medicine, public health, rehabilitation, engineering, and health informatics to advance research and innovation in healthy aging. The center is dedicated to developing technology-driven and person-centered approaches that promote independence, functional well-being, and quality of life.

Our mission is to translate interdisciplinary research into practical models and innovative strategies to enable healthy, independent, and dignified aging in place.

Our Work

Our interdisciplinary research focuses on three core areas:

1. Intelligent Sensing and Health Profiling

Transforming older adults’ daily behaviors in real-world home settings into continuous digital biomarkers to build data-driven profiles that reveal health trajectories and intrinsic capacity dynamics.

2. Personalized and Adaptive Interventions
Developing personalized and proactive intervention that leverage unobtrusive monitoring technology and adaptive environments to strengthen intrinsic capacity.

3. Digital Care Innovation and Implementation
Advancing innovative care models that embed sensing and adaptive technologies into daily living environments to promote autonomy, safety, and healthy aging in place.

NEST-CARE advances the frontiers of nursing science through interdisciplinary integration and technological innovation, fostering new paradigms for research and practice in healthy aging in place.
