Abstract
This chapter describe the plan and execution of a 6-week deployment of home-based monitoring technologies in the homes of older adults. Begin by presenting suite of technologies that developed and then outline an original deployment plan, discussing each aspect of the deployment in detail. Next, unforeseen issues encountered prior to and during the deployment. Finally, the lessons learned to produce a list of suggestions for future researchers interested in deploying suites of UbiComp technologies in the wild.
