Abstract

People with Down syndrome (DS) encounter difficulties in their daily lives. In recent years, smart homes have provided some answers to the problem of residential autonomy. In fact, smart homes can provide support for complex routines and activities, while adjusting to the person's behaviors and needs and offering maximum control of the environment. In this context, the objectives of this study were to assess (i) the usability of the smart home platform as well as (ii) the impact of the use (for 6 months) of this platform by adults with DS on many dimensions such as residential autonomy, projection into the future, the development of a life plan, self-determination, quality of life, self-esteem, anxiety, and psychological well-being. The first objective of a preliminary study was to verify that the support platform we use is suitable and can be used effectively by people with DS. For the preliminary study, the evaluations show effective, satisfactory and efficient use of all applications. Regarding the objective of our study, the evaluations show positive impacts on many dimensions such as living skills, self-determination, quality of life, self-esteem, anxiety and certain components of life psychological well-being.

唐氏综合症成人智能家居平台的评估。

唐氏综合症患者在日常生活中遇到困难。近年来，智能家居为住宅自治问题提供了一些答案。事实上，智能家居可以为复杂的日常生活和活动提供支持，同时根据人的行为和需求进行调整，并提供对环境的最大控制。在此背景下，本研究的目的是评估(i)智能家居平台的可用性，以及(ii)使用(6个月)该平台对DS成人在许多方面的影响，如居住自主性、对未来的预测、生活计划的发展、自决、生活质量、自尊、焦虑和心理健康。初步研究的第一个目的是验证我们使用的支持平台是否合适，是否可以被退行性痴呆患者有效地使用。在初步研究中，评价表明所有应用程序的使用是有效的、令人满意的和高效的。就我们的研究目标而言，这些评估在生活技能、自我决定、生活质量、自尊、焦虑和生活心理健康的某些组成部分等多个维度上都显示出积极的影响。
