“…There were two predefined design cases: 1) redesign of Xiaomi Band's 31,32 , a wearable sensor facilitating selfmonitoring accompanied with a mobile application, for senior users to promote physical activity and 2) redesign of the smart sensor mat, HealthSit's accompanied with a mobile application, to prevent sedentary sitting behavior. The HealthSit was designed by Ren 33 , at the Department of Industrial Design, Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), to allow office workers to self-monitor sedentary sitting behavior. The HealthSit prototype consists of six pressure sensors incorporated into a felt mat, which registers the sitting posture 33 .…”

“…The relevant PI 2 Us include PI 2 U-SilverArc, PI 2 U-MiniArc, PI 2 U-SilverBed, and PI 2 U-iStander. Design iteration is a common practice in product design and is proved to be efficient and suitable for developing prototypes according previous research (Ren et al 2016). Therefore, the development process of the PI 2 Us follows iterative design principles on both hardware and software levels, which allows the project team to optimize the products through prototyping, testing, analyzing, and refining (Cockburn 2008).…”

The world's population is aging at an unprecedented pace. Aging society is not only a severe crisis in the developed world, but also a rigorous challenge in emerging economies. Many age-related diseases are fostered by the lack of physical, cognitive, and social activities. Increasing the activity level has many benefits for the elderly and can improve their independence. Based on the analysis of the state-of-the-art and shortcomings of the current smart home solutions, the EU-funded research project REACH aims to develop a service system that will turn clinical and care environments into personalized modular sensing, prevention, and intervention systems that encourage the elderly to become healthy through various activities. To achieve that goal, the research team developed a series of smart furniture (PI 2 Us) that materialize the research concepts and functionality seamlessly into the various environments. Specifically, the development process and the functionality testing results of the PI 2 Us are reported in detail. In addition, a simulated smart home solution concept (TRACK) integrating key assistive technologies developed is proposed to create a comprehensive interior living and care environment for elderly users. Due to its modularity and flexibility, the partial or entire solution can be easily adapted and rapidly deployed in different use case settings in Europe, which allows the project consortium to execute different testing activities. In the next phase, the research team will focus on enhancing the usability and performance of the prototypes in order to eventually push them to the market. In conclusion, this research provides an innovative smart home solution for the industry to mitigate the impact of aging society.
