| Annotation | Smart homes technology offers the prospect of significant improvements in the living standards of older or disabled people who are heavily reliant on home care. However, the benefits of home automation for this group can only be realised if a broader consumer market develops, improving both the availability and the affordability of the technology. This edition of Findings outlines a study undertaken by the Consumers' Association, published for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) by YPS; the study team were Mark Pragnell, Lorna Spence and Roger Moore. The study explores consumers' attitudes towards the Smart Homes concept, and identifies the key factors which will influence the supply of Smart Homes technology in the future. (RH). |
