The document discusses smart health homes, which combine technologies from smart homes and healthcare to monitor individuals' health and environment at home. A smart health home focuses on prevention and medical-grade monitoring for both patients and doctors. It supports remote health care through connectivity between various medical devices, sensors, and mobile/computing systems. Key challenges include ensuring medical compliance, capturing and analyzing data privacy, and addressing legal and socioeconomic factors like users' perceived risks and values. Ultimately, a smart health home must satisfy all stakeholders' needs and requirements to serve as a certified medical system.
4. What is a Smart Health Home?
Smart Health Home combines technologies and practices from Smart
Home and from Smart Health
It monitors humans (heart health, sleep, blood pressure, and activities),
and environmental variables (temperature, humidity, noise,
atmospheric pressure, …) at home
It supports the Internet of Things and Internet of Medical Things
connectivity, as well as mobile components for out-of-home
monitoring.
It supports Home Health Care.
It can tell a healthy from an unhealthy heart and monitor several
diseases and their severity.
6. Smart Health Home
1. Focuses on monitoring and prevention
2. Expected to provide medical-grade monitoring
3. For use by both patients and medical doctors
4. High level of automation
5. Legal and regulatory compliance
7. New model, New roles, New challenges

health monitoring
Smart medical and elderly care systems (SMECS)
home-based care model, economic factors, and technological accessibility are
important
Personalized programs for the elderly are needed
The perceived risk from SMECS was stronger than their perceived value
45. PERCEIVED RISKS
Medical risks
inoperative equipment
improper diagnosis
privacy disclosure.
Financial risks
considerable fees
financial fraud
capital turnover
problems
PERCEIVED VALUE
Utilitarian value
functional benefits
meaningful information
efficiency
all obtained in time
Hedonic value
subjective happiness

49. Smart Health Home must
1. Address the needs of all stakeholders
2. Serve as a medical laboratory
3. Have certification as a medical device/system/software
4. Satisfy the requirements of all stakeholders
