YourHome 4.0 – how technical assistance can support a self-determined life at home

Most people say they would like to life at home even with disabilities, need of care or at a senior age - but how can the living space be equipped and adapted to support well-being and a self-determined life at home?

The research project YourHome 4.0 Upper Bavaria of Rosenheim Technical University of Applied Sciences aims to analyse and understand the needs and requirements of people with disabilities, post-rehab patients, people with care degrees and senior citizens. Based on this, living competence centres are equipped with technical assistance systems, supporting products and services and made accessible to the general public. In these competence centers – located in Amerang and Freilassing in Upper Bavaria – our research teams evaluate acceptance and benefits of technical assistance systems in day-to-day situations.
