This paper proposes that people with neurological conditions can be successfully supported by smart homes only when their needs and aspirations of the technological interventions are fully understood and integrated in the design. A neurological condition can and does provide a clue to the finished technological design but this alone fails to personalise the system and stands to be rejected by the person who requires the technology. This paper explores the underlying issues of the complexity of this design process when designing for people with neurological conditions, and advances a matrix to facilitate the assessment process to maintain a person-centred design of any system.
本论文提出，只有充分了解和整合神经系统状况患者对技术干预的需求和期望，智能家居才能成功为他们提供支持。神经系统状况的确可以为最终的技术设计提供线索，但仅凭这一点还无法实现系统的个性化，而且很可能会被需要技术的人拒绝。本文探讨了为神经系统状况患者进行设计时，这个设计过程的复杂性所涉及的根本问题，并提出了一个矩阵来促进评估过程，以保持任何系统的以患者为中心的设计。
