About
There are around 80 million people living with a disability in the EU. This is more than 15% of the European population. Different types of disabilities lead to different limitations and needs.
Among those concerned, there is a desire to be able to live a more active, self-determined, independent and socially integrated life in a home that is fully adapted to one’s personal needs. Modern technologies can help with this! Smart technological aids are generally available and affordable nowadays, however, the necessary know-how is often lacking: manufacturers of smart technologies are not aware of the specific needs of persons with disabilities; persons with disabilities and their caregivers are generally unaware of what technologies exist.
The SWEET HOME project would like to change this.
