Abstract
The cost and complexity of healthcare delivery to a globally ageing population is driving developments in the field of assistive living technologies. This paper focuses on the concept and the system infrastructure of the MiiHome project, which assists person-centered integrated care in the home. Working closely with a care organization delivering integrated health and social care and the housing sector, the MiiHome project aims to prevent problems before they escalate to the detriment of the person by using digital technologies.

Acknowledgements
The authors would like to thank the group of Salix Homes tenants (represented by George) who were participants in this project. The study was supported by a University of Salford (ethics approval no: STR1617-114), Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) grant. We would like to thank Salix Homes for their generous contributions including by members of the IT department and IMS department who helped set up the smarthome and install technology into the participants homes, as well as providing the property to create the dedicated smarthome. Partial funding for this study was provided by an award from NHS Salford Clinical Commissioning Group.
