Several technologies are commonly integrated into smart homes to assist in nursing care:
- Wearable Devices: These include smartwatches and fitness trackers that monitor vital signs such as heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels.
- Home Automation Systems: These systems can control lighting, temperature, and other home appliances. For patients with mobility issues, these systems can greatly enhance their quality of life by making their environment more accessible.
- Telehealth Platforms: Telehealth platforms enable remote consultations, allowing healthcare providers to diagnose and treat patients without the need for physical visits.
- Environmental Sensors: Sensors can detect changes in the environment, such as smoke, gas leaks, or unusual activity patterns, thereby providing an additional layer of safety.
