Smart-Home Technologies to Assist Older People to Live Well at Home
Open accessAbstract
Smart homes are purpose designed living spaces that provide interactive technologies and unobtrusive support systems to enable people to enjoy a higher level of independence, activity, participation or well-being than otherwise afforded [9,10].The smart homes movement links together the fields of housing, technology, engineering, sociology, and healthcare in relation to robotics, sensors, tele-health, ergonomics, communications, social care and safety [11,12].Home based smart technologies can sometimes enable people to live in their own home

Voice assistants are deemed simple and easy for older adults to use because they use speech, a universally understood interaction modality.
“Voice assistants allow users to interact with it in a universally understood form of interaction modality, speech. Thus, they are deemed to be simple and easy for older adults to use [26].”
From Exploring How Older Adults Use a Smart Speaker–Based Voice Assistant in Their First Interactions: Qualitative Study (2021) · cites this paper as [26]
The Discussion reports that voice-activated commands were among the smart-home applications participants favored, and that most smart-home technologies could be used with little assistance or training. It does not say that speech is a universally understood interaction modality or that voice assistants are easy for older adults to use because they rely on speech.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
