Abstract

This position paper discusses experiences gained in Scotland over the last 10 years in supporting the planning, design and implementation of solutions for independent living, based on off-the-shelf, structured cabling, smart home technology. It reports on successful implementations, the inclusion of preparatory cabling in other projects, considers the case for wider application and expands on some issues to be considered. These experiences are presented in the context of related developments within the UK, ascertained from a review carried out by the author.
