The Wired Infrastructure in Smart Homes

Developing Design Solutions for Smart Homes Through User-Centered Scenarios

“…Mihailidis et al (2008) proposed home monitoring systems that are targeted toward specific home support goals: personal emergency response systems; automated fall detection; activity of daily living monitoring; environmental controls, such as lights, heating, and ventilation; and health monitoring, such as heart rate monitoring and detection of sudden changes in a person's lifestyle patterns that may indicate changes in health, using sensors located in the environment (Mihailidis et al, 2008). Many studies have investigated monitoring of residents' daily activities and physiological health conditions and described the state of the art of sensors, algorithms, and tracking devices in smart systems (Noury et al, 2003;Orwat et al, 2008;Marikyan et al, 2019). The smart technology framework monitors user mobility patterns and ensures a high level of functionality that preserves privacy and complementation of user data.…”

“…This new technological paradigm is expected to cause significant changes in various fields, but it is predicted that the future information technology (IT) environment will be developed around the home (De Silva et al, 2012;Krishna and Verma, 2016;Borsekova et al, 2017). Noury et al (2003) introduced the concept of a "health smart home" as a variation of smart homes with a focus on assistive technologies for the independence of the elderly and patients in housing (Noury et al, 2003). Many studies have developed techniques for specific groups of users, such as those with dementia, those vulnerable to falls, and those who would require emergency help.…”
