| Annotation | The authors summarise a 1-year evaluation of an autonomous smart home for people with dementia installed in one of Housing 21's ExtraCare housing flats in Deptford, London. They describe the background to the work, and the structure of the evaluation programme. They discuss the impact of the technology on the tenant, which was was assessed using three outcome measures: a questionnaire-based measure; recorded interviews with the tenant and his family carer; and behaviour data logged by the installed technology.
