Smart Home Automation Using Wearable Technology

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Wearable/Personal Monitoring Devices Present to Future

Abstract

Technological advancements have made people lead a sophisticated, comfortable, and luxurious life. The products available in the market are not designed to make difference to the life of the disabled and the old age population of the world. The disabled and aged people have become grounded in life to perform everyday tasks even after technological advancements. This affects physical health and hygiene in addition to mental depression. In the market, few products are available targeting the aged and the disabled population. In smart home automation, using wearables made a major impact on the quality of life of the disabled and aged population. The smart home automation features automatic opening/closing of the doors, object/face recognition, and switching on/off lights, without moving from a place to the target location. Various technologies are available to build automation features to manage everyday tasks independently and to improve the quality of life of disabled and aged people. This chapter focuses on various technologies available for smart automation to support the needy population of the world, from the perspective of wearables. This chapter also discusses the development of gesture-based home automation and security for visually impaired people and old age people.
