Domótica aplicada a una vivienda unifamiliar existente para una persona con discapacidad motriz

Abstract

Constant technological development opens up new applications not previously contemplated. Investigating and taking advantage of the potential of these developments becomes an opportunity to generate well-being and quality of life in populations whose circumstances limit their daily life, and therefore promote the construction of more equitable and inclusive societies. People with physical disabilities due to their condition require an adequate habitat to achieve optimal living conditions. Freedom and autonomy, restricted by their disability, become essential factors to overcome in order to fully integrate into society and achieve self-realization. The present work develops a valid methodological guide for the application of home automation technology to the domestic space where people with physical disabilities live in order to reinforce their autonomy, accessibility and equal opportunities, thus improving their living conditions. After an investigative phase of documentary, historical, technological analysis and studying a real particular case, learning is extracted that is integrated and synthesized in the methodological product, objective of the investigation. The developed methodological guide is structured in three dimensions: human, habitat and technological, which guide the systematized and adequate application of home automation to existing housing, from the general to the particular, and which branch out depending on the specific circumstances found in each particular case study.
