Home automation in the service of autonomy

To continue to lead an independent life, at home, is the wish of the majority of our seniors. And for that, guaranteeing the safety of the elderly is essential. For this purpose, home automation solutions exist to provide support and help on a daily basis. Intelligent solutions called AAL, Ambient Assisted Living, provide valuable help in home support.

These home and building automation solutions offer a multitude of services to the elderly for maximum autonomy, many daily tasks are then performed automatically. A considerable saving since the call for nursing staff is limited and life in a retirement home is delayed. However, in the event of an anomaly, danger or emergency, the family and / or nursing staff can be notified immediately by push notification or by a call.

Home and building automation solutions offer many other services such as alerts in the event of potential falls, presence or emergency switches alerting family members or caregivers, flashing lights in case of emergency to alert neighbors, controlled air quality to minimize respiratory illnesses… So many options for simplified and secure independent living. For example, night lighting is automatically activated when a person gets up from his bed in the middle of the night to illuminate a path to the WC with a soft and subdued light in order to offer a secure survey without dazzling the person looking for 'autonomy. The family and caregivers can also be notified when daily movements such as waking up do not follow their habits.

Home automation and building automation solutions are real progress for this age group of the population. A whole generation now has access to a technology that is revolutionizing their daily lives in their homes.
