TIMC-IMAG laboratory of the Faculty of Medicine of Grenoble (France) working on the design of an intelligent home that promotes the autonomy of the elderly, according to the newspaper 'Le Figaro'. It is an apartment equipped with motion detectors in all rooms, which transmit information to a central monitoring and, if you show a lack of activity, warn of possible problems.
this home users can connect to a digital device that measures vital signs like pulse. This information is forwarded to the monitoring center for medical personnel to verify their health status. These
Experts have also designed a fall detector that can fit in your pocket and allows you to track the movements outside the home, and microphones that are triggered by keywords like "relief."
Currently, several elderly people tested prototypes of the smart home in France to develop these technologies to ensure maximum autonomy to its users and a comprehensive medical monitoring of their health.
The marketing of such systems allow many elderly to live independently. This would represent a possible solution to the shortage of places in nursing homes in France, where it is expected that by 2040 the population over 75 will double the current.
However, the National Commission on Information and Freedoms, which oversees compliance with legislation for data protection in France, believes that some of these devices may pose a risk of intrusion into the privacy of its users. Is developing rules to govern its use before putting them on sale.
For its part, the French Society of Gerontology Technology is beginning to offer counseling to seniors about autonomy technologies now available. The large existing supply may hinder the choice of which best suit your needs.
