Smart Home Creates Unprecedented Opportunities for People with Down Syndrome

Smart homes will create the conditions for an independent life for people with Down syndrome.

The new home consists of smart home devices, controllers, and alarm applications. This house is equipped with specially developed technologies so that people with Down syndrome can live freely.

A “smart” home platform includes a number of functions: “smart” devices for living, from the Internet regulator of things to simpler reminders, a to-do list and instructions for living.

Mencap CEO Steve Becker noted that a long list of things people want to achieve has been prepared and handed over to Vodafone to find technological solutions. This list reflects all the necessary and desirable for people with Down syndrome.

According to the British television channel bbcnews, a new technology based on hardware and software has been developed for each individual user in accordance with their needs and individual capabilities. Whenever necessary, people can call the "assistant" using video calls. Here, users will be able to play games, have fun, and listen to music. You can even prepare desserts comfortably based on this recipe and the order of preparation without special use.

Currently, there are about 1.4 million people with Down syndrome in the UK, including people who want to live free without the help of their children, can use the “smart” home application.
