Abstract

The world population is ageing owing to rising longevity and declining fertility rate. More older people are nowadays living alone in housing that is generally not adapted to their new needs and requirements. Evidence suggests that the majority of older people want to remain in their own homes for as long as possible to retain a sense of familiarity and independence which has shown positive effects on people’s overall health and wellbeing. Responding to this trend, the large mainstream housing stock needs to be easily retrofitted with the intervention of technology such that it can respond to older people’s changing needs.
