Digital Assisted Smart Homes For Senior Citizens & Handicapped
Future-Proof Design Of Our Living Spaces
Why digital assisted smart homes ?
We can design self-sustaining digital assisted smart homes for senior citizens and handicapped that empowers them to live independently with confidence & without any dependency. By introducing intelligent automation facilities that aid and improve living conditions, we can consequently reduce unforseen incidents and enhance convenience without the need for constant human intervention.
Redefine Accessibility With Smart Homes
How can the handicapped be benefitted ?
GDiAL is redefining what indoor accessibility is for handicapped people. We need solutions that allows them to custom design the use of their space rather than just focus on mobility. From intelligent lighting, to remote door access, comfortable indoor temperature and even appliance maintenance are key factors to bring about this change for handicapped people. Empathetic design principles accentuated through building automation
Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) are constantly produced due to electrical wiring, appliances, Wi-Fi, etc, and they directly impact our health. We need to dissociate and reduce impact as much as possible from EMF inducing elements inside our homes through intelligent automation solutions. At GDiAL, we have played a key role in determining and minimizing the EMF levels through the right products, smart design of space and customized automation
0% EMF design is imperative
Important Aspects To Consider
Safety & Security
Every major aspect of senior citizens & handicapped people’s safety and security should be addressed through smart automation. Family members can remotely track, be notified with alarms and operate house functions 24×7 with their smart devices to ascertain the well-being of their elderly parents or handicapped family member for utmost peace of mind.
- Automated short circuit fire prevention
- Preventing un-authorized access
- Securing doors / windows for break-ins
- Addressing water leakages early
- Turning off gas supply when not in use
Air Quality
We need to have systems & solutions in place to maintain healthy air quality standard indoors. Homes automation helps in the precise operation of systems needed to keep air quality fresh with optimum energy usage. Through real-time data analysis of your space the air quality is monitored for major polluting elements and as such the HVAC and natural ventilation design of your space coupled with automation can maintain the highest standard of indoor air quality
- Temperature, Humidity & CO2 monitoring
- Particulate matter (PM) of various levels are regularly monitored
- Air quality parameters are analyzed for autonomous operation
- Energy efficient HVAC system for demand based usage
De-cluttered
design is essential
Elimination of traditional switchboards and overhaul of electrical design is needed for transition into a more centralized system that is convenient to implement and intuitive to use. Real smart homes are spaces that hide automation in the background and provide a seamless living experience. The value of true automation is realized when you become unaware of its existence
Lighting Design & Electrical Installation
Optimum illumination is extremely important for senior citizens to orient themselves. We need to rethink switchboards and switches with smart automation design. Through GDiAL we offer automated lighting design that requires no manual operation and is customized to work 24×7 for the user. Senior citizens can move around the house hassle-free with the right intensity of illumination working autonomously for them. Non-EMF lighting and electrical installation is essential to reduce stress and promote well-being of the residents
- Presence based automated lighting on / off
- 0% EMF lighting that improves well-being
- Automated night light that guides the user
- Human centric lighting supporting circadian cycle
- Savings upto 80% on lighting costs
Energy Management
About 40%-50% of consumed electricity is wasted in residential housing. In case of senior citizens and handicapped people, the only solution to sustainable energy management is by automation. We can automate functions and eliminate redundancies to optimize everyday energy usage. A self-sustaining home that operates systems based on real-time data and on the needs of the end user is where energy wastage can be reduced
- Solar power generated energy for consumption
- Bi-directional solar-grid energy metering
- Backup power supply for uninterrupted use
- Turning of power guzzlers when not in use
- Automated appliance maintenance
Use Case Scenarios
Fall Detection
Automation design catered to track movements of the senior citizen or handicapped person at home at any given moment. We can monitor safety through multiple sensor combinations that provide instant alerts in case any fall is detected and provides remote notification for family members to take appropriate steps
Medicine Reminder
Senior citizens with cognitive anomalies can be taken care through smart audio integration that provides them the necessary feedback about going on in their daily lives. We can integrate remote announcements through audio in the house for improving the lives of our elderly family members
Talk From Anywhere, Emergency Calling
A neglected element in smart homes is VOIP telephony. We can introduce one-touch instant calling feature that senior citizens or handicapped can resort to whenever in need. The ability to understand the psychology of our elderly and combine pragmatic solutions for them makes for a win-win situation
Remote Monitoring
As a caretaker or family member of any senior citizen or handicapped person, you have the ability to track and be informed of every activity in the house, remotely through the app. As a family member you can communicate, control entry / exit for visitors, execute commands in the house from the app remotely and always be alerted through a smart alarm system
