In this work, a flexible and extensive digital platform for Smart Homes is presented, exploiting the most advanced technologies of the Internet of Things, such as Radio Frequency Identification, wearable electronics, Wireless Sensor Networks, and Artificial Intelligence. Thus, the main novelty of the paper is the system-level description of the platform flexibility allowing the interoperability of different smart devices. This research was developed within the framework of the operative project HABITAT (Home Assistance Based on the Internet of Things for the Autonomy of Everybody), aiming at developing smart devices to support elderly people both in their own houses and in retirement homes, and embedding them in everyday life objects, thus reducing the expenses for healthcare due to the lower need for personal assistance, and providing a better life quality to the elderly users.
本工作提出了一个灵活且广泛的智能家居数字平台，利用物联网的最先进技术，如射频识别、可穿戴电子、无线传感器网络和人工智能。因此，本文的主要新颖之处在于平台灵活性的系统级描述，允许不同智能设备的互操作性。这项研究是在 HABITAT（基于物联网的每个人的自主权的家庭辅助）项目的框架内开发的，旨在开发智能设备，以在老年人自己的家中和养老院中为他们提供支持，并将它们嵌入日常用品中，从而减少因个人辅助需求降低而产生的医疗保健费用，并为老年用户提供更高的生活质量。
