Smart home automation to aid seniors

The objective of this thesis was to build an automation system for an elderly person. The goal was to have different solutions to problems or to assist an elderly person. To help the caregiver or family member who is responsible for simple daily events. There was no specific client who will be mentioned other than it was for someone’s elderly family member. There are many different systems that are being created in the elderly care field. The problem is that these systems are usually created to tackle one problem or issue. There will be some research addressing these systems, but the goal of this thesis was to create one system that would address many issues or problems.39 The main goal of the thesis was to create one system that would provide a way for a caregiver or family member to have access to the system. This way they would be able to know more about the elderly person without having to interfere too much into their daily lives. Independence is very important to every adult. The system also had to be a hands-off experience because the user as well as the caregiver or family member is likely not to have the knowledge to use the system at a high level.
