HomeLab Kids is an extension of the existing HomeLab living laboratory of older adults to include a network of families with child participants.
"Georgia Tech is partnering with health and wellness researchers to develop a pediatric version of the successful HomeLab Research Initiative. HomeLab Kids seeks to fill important gaps in the understanding of how families manage a child's chronic condition, how families make decisions about healthcare to maintain health, and how children manage their own transitions to self-managed care. HomeLab Kids is a Living Laboratory to assist in understanding how health care is conceived, managed, and delivered in the home.
