A language assistant reminds you to drink, the stove is automatically switched off, and sensors detect whether the occupant has fallen: In the apartment of the future, invisible helpers will ensure that older people live just as safely in their own home as in a nursing home. Various technology specialists have teamed up with research institutions, networks and users to make this happen. The idea is to jointly build a platform that links data to activity and behaviour profiles, so that it can sound the alarm at the right moment. The Smart Service Power system will even be able to detect, based on analyses, when the occupant’s state of health deteriorates – and notify the nursing service just in case.
