As part of an online conference on innovative smart home technologies held on July 25, 2024, partners and vendors discussed the latest developments in the field of IoT. Modern smart technologies can significantly improve the quality of life for the elderly and people with disabilities.
From automating household tasks to enhancing safety and convenience, a smart home offers numerous solutions for ensuring comfortable and independent living. The AZIOT HOME platform is one of the leading platforms providing these capabilities.
How Does a Smart Home Help the Elderly and People with Disabilities?
1. Automating Household Tasks
Smart devices can automate many routine tasks such as controlling lighting, heating, air conditioning, and security. This allows the elderly and people with disabilities to focus on more important matters without spending time and effort on manual execution of these tasks. Yuriy Sivytskyi, Member of the Supervisory Board of Intecracy Group, notes: «Smart technologies enable the elderly and people with disabilities to live more independently and safely. They provide the opportunity to enjoy life without worrying about routine tasks.»
2. Voice Control
Integration with voice assistants allows users to control the smart home using voice commands. This is especially useful for people with limited mobility, as they can control devices without moving around the house.
3. Enhancing Security
Smart security systems provide peace of mind and protection. They can detect suspicious activity, alert to potential threats, and even automatically call emergency services. Additionally, smart sensors can detect falls or other emergencies and immediately notify family members or medical services. Anton Marrero, Member of the Supervisory Board of Intecracy Group, adds: «Innovations in smart technologies open new possibilities for ensuring comfort and safety. They make the lives of the elderly and people with disabilities more convenient and secure.»
4. Remote Monitoring and Assistance
Families and caregivers can remotely monitor the health and safety of their loved ones using the AZIOT HOME mobile app. This includes monitoring physical activity, medication intake, and other important indicators.
5. Personalization
Smart technologies can adapt to the individual needs and habits of users. For example, the system can remember preferences for temperature or lighting and automatically adjust them according to the user's schedule. Mykhailo Vihovskyi, Member of the Supervisory Board of Intecracy Group, emphasizes: «Remote monitoring and automating household tasks make smart homes an ideal solution for those who need additional support and assistance in daily life.»
Smart technologies offered by the AZIOT HOME platform provide a high level of comfort and safety for the elderly and people with disabilities. The online presentation of new technologies confirmed that the future is already near, and we are ready to take advantage of all its benefits.
