ithout doors. This was made in order for aged people to see what they have in them in case if they forget where they keep things. One interesting thing is that the electric kettle is made of metal. Some elders (usually with dementia) put electric kettle on the hob.are also sensors in the bath. These sensors detect when the bath is full and send signal to the inhabitant. If person does not turn off the tap, system automatically stops water feed. There are also detectors which control the temperature of the water. In during the night your grandfather wants to drink water and gets up, the floor on his way will be illuminated. This is because in the bed there are special sensors which detect when you are in bed and when you get up. After these sensors sense that you stood up, they automatically send signals to the illumination system. Illumination system, by-turn, with a help of its detectors, turns on the light where it is needed.interviewed an old lady, Margaret Morgan. She is 73 years old. Every year she is getting older and her memory gets worth. She is also suffers from developing dementia. She really liked the idea of ​​such house. "It would maintain my independence," she said. The thing that impressed her the most was a wall panel.estimate that buying this house will be more profitable than paying to the carer, who will help and look after elders. ( Smart house unveiled. )
Case # 2
Smart houses improve the quality of life of elders. In these smart houses the main goal is to take care of them. The whole system is programmed so that every signal is recorded in the service center.the whole house there are infrared detectors which detect presence in the room. They are called motion detectors. There are detectors even on the chairs and on the bed, which called pressure sensors. When person enters the room, sensor sends the data to the lamp shaped gateway. This gateway is usually placed in a special room with other controllers. Then gateway gathers the data and sends it to the telecare center. What if, person falls down because of heart attack or any other reason? Then sensors try to find him in all parts of the house. Even the pressure sensors are looking for the inhabitant. Because person is on the floor sensors do not detect him. After some time (usually time programmed by the owner) gateway sends all the data plus an emergency message to telecare service. From there operator immediately calls the doctor. Several minutes later doctor is in the house. p align="justify"> This system prevented a lot of people from death. It was developed by Australian specialists, and became very popular. ("Chapter 4/Ethical issues facing the use of technologies for the aged community.") br/>
Conclusion
Comparing these two cases, I want to say that there are no main differences there. Both of these houses are taking care of their hosts. The thing I want to mention here is that I think that the systems used in the second case is more useful for the society. Why? Because this system can really help to people who tend to have health problems, which cause fallings. I myself would prefer my grandmother to have such system in her house. Because two years ago she was at home alone, and in the kitchen she slipped in the kitchen and fell on the floor. As everyone was at their work, she tried to creep till phone to call us. After we called to the doctor, they took her to hospital. The diagnosis was a breakage of the hip. Doctor said that if she did not have to creep towards the ph ne she would have only fracture. So I on my experience feel how this house can be useful for aged community.thing I found between these two cases is that, the opinions about smart houses among elder people differ. For example, interviewed woman, Margaret Morgan (Case # 1), said that the system will help her to maintain her independence. Whereas in the second case there was raised the problem, that some patients are worrying about their privacy. They do not feel comfortable in the house which is watching them. Some of the elder people are afraid of this technology. The fact that their house can think and may make its own decisions scares them. They are afraid that now on their children forget about them, leaving their elders with a almighty house . But I think that this problem can be solved as, children will let their old parents know that they are needed, and they will never forget about them.house, multiroom and all these technologies will not change your way of life, they will change your quality of life. People, including elders, will start loving their house for his understanding them from one touch. In USA and Europe some people already enjoy their new intelligent houses, and...
