Welcome
Georgia Tech’s HomeLab is a living lab for independent evaluation of user acceptance and effectiveness of products, programs, and services created with older adults and users with disabilities in mind. HomeLab is dedicated to advancing the application of emerging technologies in service to enabling people of all ages with functional limitations, as well as supporting an aging workforce.
The HomeLab participant network consists of more than 300 participants distributed across the metro-Atlanta area, as well as the associated infrastructure needed to administer, manage, design, and execute both small- and large-scale user research studies. HomeLab is staffed by a multi-disciplinary roster of experts, including those with expertise in human factors, experimental design, behavioral psychology, industrial design, data analysis, engineering, and project management.
You can find more information on our current and previous work here, and you can read about some of our published work and activities here.

HomeLab Highlights
HomeLab’s leadership recently traveled to South Korea to present to the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). Sarah Farmer (Director) and Brad Fain (founder and CACP Executive Director) presented HomeLab: Development and Operation of a Home-based Research Initiative at KAIST’s 2026 Spring School of Technology Policy Colloquium.
This presentation was part of a larger partnership between the KAIST Graduate School of Science and Technology Policy and Georgia Tech’s Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter School of Public Policy. Georgia Tech also has a dual-degree program in partnership with KAIST in electrical and computer engineering.
