Issues Privacy Variability Training healthcare professionals to be fluent in new tech Scalability

Privacy Constantly monitored Video imagery & sound recordings Daily movements & actives Personal routines Personal health data

Variability Patients have different needs Patient can have different conditions As patients progress we must adapt Need extendable infrastructure

Scalability Transforming homes to be smart homes Cost overhead Teaching elderly to use systems Have enough educated nurses & doctors to use system Customized personal needs Adapt over time to progress & patient needs

Training healthcare professionals to be fluent in SH tech New tech requires people to learn how to use it Not enough sample data Each case is specific to an individual

Balancing act Helping patients Collecting meaningful data Scalability Privacy

Benefits to Smart Home Healthcare No need for personal 24/7 constant monitoring Nurses and doctors can have a farther patients reach i.e. care for more patients Could lead data driver decisions Could prevent future health issues Could lead to better patient health & outcomes
