Abstract
To cope with the issues of population aging and lack of homecare providers, ambient assistive technologies seem to be a way to explore. Domotics have already flooded our daily living allowing to program the garden watering, the blind opening, the house temperature…They are however ill-suited for the elderly because of their complexity in use. To address elderly needs and lighten the caregiver’s burden, this preliminary study proposes a complete architecture of ambient assistive healthcare and wellness at home, whose main innovation is that it differs from the existing ones by its active feature. Indeed, it is not necessary to program all the home facilities one-by-one any longer, they are all centralized and remote-controlled by the system proposed. Moreover, this smart household control system is automatic, unsupervised and entirely adaptive to the user’s needs and wishes. It provides optimum home conditions to ensure the inhabitant wellness in accordance with the monitoring of his/her physiological and behavioral variables.
