Abstract
The Smart home is a domain, where various electronic gadgets and appliances are organized together to provide Smart services in an unobtrusive way to the people. In this paper, we present the design and development of a secure Smart home solution that maintains as well as enhances occupant lifestyles in a secure way, especially the elderly and physically impaired people. We utilized various enabling hybrid technologies that are user-friendly, affordable, and allow for seamless transition as new technologies evolve, such as cloud computing, body sensor networks and wearable Computing. Such an integrated system can augment current healthcare methods and empower healthcare professionals and patients with an advanced personalized and secure Smart home for continuous monitoring, quality of diagnosis and prognosis, and finally assessing rehabilitation efficacy for better treatment, well-being and smart care. The proposed home solution can facilitate health care cost reduction, early release from hospital, quality patient care through continuous monitoring, reduced pressure on health care providers and finally accessibility to care for undeserved population in remote areas.
