Aging in Smart Buildings: How Can Smart Building Technologies Support the Cognitively Impaired Aging Population?
Publication: Construction Research Congress 2022
ABSTRACT
In recent years, emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have broadened the horizon for innovative applications of smart buildings, supporting people with cognitive impairment to live more safely and independently. Currently, researchers and industry professionals need a state-of-the-art overview of the smart building innovations that can be used to facilitate the independence of the cognitively impaired population. This paper aims to evaluate and summarize the existing and potential smart building applications that can improve the welfare of cognitively impaired occupants by offering them supports in their daily lives. This review finds that most contributions have been toward data analytics for behavioral recognition to identify assistive tasks and to provide guidance. More smart innovations of the built environment are in need to provide assistive services and compensate for the intelligence shortfall of occupants who are suffering from cognitive-related dysfunctions. Especially, user-centered designs are needed to improve the smart buildings’ acceptability and usability.
