Development of a Role Model for the Use of Smart Home Based Data in Medical Care

Abstract

Smart home systems create new opportunities for patient care. In this paper, a role model is created for the different groups of people involved in the care process of an occupant. Based on a systematic literature review seven roles were identified. A second literature review deals with the topic Feedback of Smart Home Systems. Combining both reviews visualization proposals were created and are presented for two of the roles. The role model is adapted to German health system but could be transformed for different countries. To confirm the results an evaluation of role model and visualization proposal should be done in collaboration with possible users of smart homes.
