The mission of Workforce Development, Aging and Community Services(WDACS) is to connect communities and improve the lives of all generations in Los Angeles County. WDACS connects individuals to careers and employers to a skilled workforce. WDACS ensures the well-being of older and dependent adults in the community. As well as resolve conflict and improve human relations in our diverse County.

Remote Home Assist will bring in-home, interactive technology to older adults, helping them maintain independence and well-being.  The specific functional objectives involve developing skills for the Amazon Alexa and Actions for the Google Home Assistant to enable end users to interactive with services programs and supply wellness responses.  The older adults will answer a set of questions on a scheduled basis to help caregivers make remote assessments. For the second part of the project we will be focused on the data science aspect of the project by providing data analysis of the at risk factors of the older adults based on their responses.

The system will also verbalize and display schedule reminders for congregate meals, doctor appointments, senior center classes and other events.  It will enable the users to call for transportation, schedule activities and obtain wellness coaching. WDACS will provide scope guidance, computing infrastructure, technical support and devices.  The students will provide design analysis and software development.
