We propose you five steps: check your internet plan, choose a smart home ecosystem, identify your needs, realise how the satisfaction of needs impact well-being, intervene with the smart devices that impact your daily life.
The way in which the satisfaction of basic needs impact health are several. For instance, having control, understood as our need of being able to influence on life outcomes, can have an impact on mental health.
The determinants of well-being are the factors that influence our level of health. They are several and can be grouped under four main influencing areas: genetics, personal behaviour, socio-economic environment and physical environment.
Considering that in high-income countries we spend 70% of our time at home it becomes nearly evident that these may have an influence on our health, financials and on climate change.
A Meaningful Smart Home is a technologically supported living space that, through the satisfaction of occupants’ needs, follows the purpose of improving human health and well-being, while decreasing its’ environmental footprint.
