“…This decision support functionality is centred on monitoring through wearable, implantable and sensing devices to facilitate preventative care and detect adverse health incidents [17]. Other health researchers examine specific vulnerabilities, such as individuals living with serious mental illness, emphasising that caregivers rather than individuals are often the direct beneficiaries [34].…”

Published research on smart homes and their users is growing exponentially, yet a clear understanding of who these users are and how they might use smart home technologies is missing from a field being overwhelmingly pushed by technology developers. Through a systematic analysis of peer-reviewed literature on smart homes and their users, this paper takes stock of the dominant research themes and the linkages and disconnects between them. Key findings within each of nine themes are analysed, grouped into three: (1) views of the smart home-functional, instrumental, socio-technical; (2) users and the use of the smart home-prospective users, interactions and decisions, using technologies in the home; and (3) challenges for realising the smart home-hardware and software, design, domestication. These themes are integrated into an organising framework for future research that identifies the presence or absence of cross-cutting relationships between different understandings of smart homes and their users. The usefulness of the organising framework is illustrated in relation to two major concernsprivacy and control-that have been narrowly interpreted to date, precluding deeper insights and potential solutions. Future research on smart homes and their users can benefit by exploring and developing cross-cutting relationships between the research themes identified.

“…These technological changes are the main source of impacts on lifestyle, social interactions, communications and the use of environments. Therefore, it is the crucial task of designers, architects and engineers to adapt the technological changes as the intelligent developments into the design of living environments [33][34][35]. Similar to the 1980s, when the arrival of personal computers, there was a growing interest towards researching on the circumstances of utilization of personal computers at home and the respective impacts on the lifestyle and behavior of users.…”

a b s t r a c tIn the context of intelligent environments, the smart houses are often pointed as one of the main constituents of smarter living environments. This study attempts to theoretically analyze case models of smart houses in order to identify their essence and characteristics. The results show that the most significant intelligent values embodied in smart houses embrace technologies of the functional automation. In fact, smart houses are substantially intertwined with integrated ICT technologies which aim to ensure comfortable living environments. Despite the identified challenges, the proliferation of smart houses into urban areas requires an integration of them in the city for creating intelligent environments. As a result, the promotion and integration of smart houses with other smarter elements of cities could archive a significant enhancement of the quality of life and a stronger urban sustainability.

“…A review of current research showed that a number of overseas studies (Demiris et al, 2004;Coughlin et al, 2007;Mahmood et al, 2008;Mihailidis et al, 2008;Rialle et al, 2008;Sponselee et al, 2008;Wild et al, 2008;Giger and Markward, 2011;van Hoof et al, 2011;Mckenna et al, 2015;Peek et al, 2015) have explored the perceptions of elderly people and their caregivers of various types of SHT. SHT can be categorised into various functions, including enhancing personal safety; enhancing health monitoring; improving social interactions; and supporting living environment control.…”

Purpose Smart-home technology (SHT) has been identified by the World Health Organization as a possible solution for assisting older people to maintain their independence and to live safely at home when performing the activities of daily living. This study aims to identify the factors, as well as their inter-relationships, influencing senior citizens to adopt elderly-friendly SHT that supports ageing-in-place in high-density Hong Kong living settings. Design/methodology/approach An interpretive structural modelling approach has been used to analyse the factors to develop a better understanding of the relationships between factors influencing SHT adoption, and “Matrice d’Impacts Croisés-Multiplication Appliquée à un Classement” analysis has been used to classify the analysed factors. Findings The results suggested that strong government support, efficient backup supporting service and the design of user interface devices have been found as the driving factors encouraging the adoption of SHT. Other factors, including the maintenance of devices, levels of usage and penetration of devices, individual needs and financial considerations, were considered as autonomous factors and are less important to the decision to adopt SHT. Originality/value This study provides useful information to policymakers and building designers on the human perspective of SHT adoption, such as the needs and requirements of older people to be considered in SHT technical design and appropriate technological solutions.
