Abstract:
Smart home technology has proved to contribute to increased independence and safety. Two surveys has been conducted in Norway to collate experience on smart home technology as part of home care services. We found that the technology is installed in newly built residential flats, aiming at old residents in need of care. The findings inspired us to further investigate the implications of installing smart home technology in existing houses and flats.
The paper presents the findings from all three projects, and will discuss and the technologies impact on health and some financial aspects.
