Different from the past, in recent years, an increasing number of technology solutions have been started to be designed for the elderly and disabled due to the aging population and increasing awareness about common problems of the disabled. In smart homes, a group of smart, networked devices and sensors can help make the elderly and disabled more independent by letting family members, relatives and doctors keep tabs from afar. Because there is significant interest from care providers who prefer to keep the elderly and disabled in their houses rather than caring them in assisted-living centers. Accordingly, in this study, a sample application of smart home technology is presented. In the presented application, a group of sensors are used to build an autonomous smart home. Although the presented application is just a simple example of how smart homes can be used, it has the potential of affecting all areas improving day to day life of the elderly and disabled.Keywords

Even if the elderly and disabled need the assistance of their families, parents, and healthcare providers, they prefer to live in their homes instead of assisted-living centers. Therefore, their health and activities must be remotely monitored so that in case of an urgent unexpected situation, immediate help can be provided. In this respect, this paper proposes a wireless sensor network-based health monitoring system for the elderly and disabled, and focuses on its development steps. The proposed system is composed of low-cost off-the-shelf components and enables the monitoring of important health parameters of the elderly and disabled. Since it is a wireless and portable health monitoring solution, it can be a valuable remote monitoring tool for health care service providers by reducing the cost of their services. It can be combined with data mining solutions and/or machine learning techniques to offer novel features such as pattern extraction and behavior analysis.Keywords

Advances in technology has not only led to the start of innovative solutions and new business opportunities in different sectors but also reduced manpower needs and operational costs. Furthermore, the quality of provided services has been improved. Therefore, recently, the Internet of Things (IoT) has gained a great momentum as a key enabling technology for a wide range of health care applications, especially for the elderly and disabled. Although, solutions based on IoT technology have started to support the elderly and disabled in many areas of their life and work and the IoT helps improve quality of life for the elderly and disabled, the amount of data collected by the IoT has increased tremendously and surpassed the expectations. This makes it necessary to investigate approaches and solutions in order to efficiently utilise large amounts of data, especially in health care applications. In this paper, we are first going to review existing approaches and IoT solutions specifically proposed and designed for the elderly and disabled. Then, we are going to investigate prospects and research challenges in the use of the IoT in the services designed for elderly people and people with disabilities to provide an insight into future research opportunities.Keywords
