                                                  (We apologise that only Chinese version is available)

                                                  智能家居來自自動化家居的概念,結合互聯網、保安技術、音視頻技術等,提高家居生活的便利、省力、省時間,又節省能源,同時也減少家居意外,適合各種體能情況的家人生活其中。綜合來說,智能家居系統可以發揮防盜、省電、娛樂、監控、追踪及搖控家用電器等功能。
                                                   
                                                  智能家居的應用很廣泛,其中有為長者特別設計的智能家居系統,讓他們能夠安心在熟識的環境生活,減少或推遲進入安老院的機會,其實即是居家安老的重要配備。尤其在香港,作為子女因要工作,即使不願意也無奈地要把年老的父母留在家中,或交傭人照顧;亦有子女不想再擔著心地上班,唯有放下事業,留在家中,全時間照顧父母,尤其是患了認知障礙症的父母。不過就算多細心,也難以分分秒秒都可以看管著,在照顧不到的時候,都會教人牽腸掛肚。
                                                   
                                                  為針對現時老齡社會面對的種種照顧或自理問題,科技上的新發明,亦正在這方面用心思,例如怎樣減少因機能衰腿而引起的意外;怎樣為長者安排更有系統的健康管理,像患有高血壓、心臟病的,能及早預知變化,減少併發症;如何延緩機能退化,或減少退化引起的不適;怎樣減省照顧者在體力上及心理上的照顧壓力...等等。
                                                   
                                                  香港近年亦正嘗試引進智能家居系統,一些特別為退休長者建造的屋苑,就已嘗試採用一些智能裝置,保障住客安全。也有一些電訊公司、電器商、科研公司、社企等,推廣智能家居的應用,例如開辦智能家居設計應用教室。香港房屋協會,在2017年底,在他們位於油麻地的長者資源中心,增設了「智友善」 家居探智館,讓參觀者體驗及試用探智館的智能家居設施,香港科技園也設計了一個家居安老體驗館,長者安居協會更也推行「長者智能家居」試驗計劃。可見這是未來安老的趨勢。
                                                   
                                                  我們在這裏綜合了一些在選購智能家居產品時要注意的事項,並介紹一些適合長者使用的智能產品。
                                                   
                                                  應用注意事項

                                                  1. 切合需要

                                                    智能產品很多種多樣,你在選購時,要考慮父母親面臨的問題,他們的需要、生活習慣;而你作為照顧者,當然是考慮能輕省你的照顧工作,或者提高照顧水平的產品。若由長者直接操作的產品,最好避免輸入密碼的產品,還有需要多重操作步驟,按鍵小、敏感度太高、屏幕太光、或者閃光按鈕的都不適宜。

                                                  2. 家居網絡的穩定性及安全性

                                                    由於智能系統有賴家居互聯網絡(internet)、路由器(Router)、電話線及電流系統,得以通流及運作,一旦網絡故障、欠費服務被終止,或者停電,那麼家居的智能系統便不能運作,所以安裝智能系統前,先確保你選用的網絡供應商或電訊公司的維修後續服務質素。

                                                  3. 私隱問題

                                                    智能系統其中的功能:監控功能,是收集系統監測範圍內的人的活動資料,然後傳輸至照顧者或戶主的智能手提電話,好讓他/她即使遠離家居,也能隨時了解家中人活動情況。所以你須要了解你的網絡供應商、智能系統本,是否提供了足夠的防範黑客入侵或資料外洩的措施。 另外,被監測者即家人的個人私隱問題,你須要注意並處理,例如向他們解釋監測的用意、資料的用途及保密方式,如系統有錄像功能,就更要讓家人了解錄像設備安裝的位置,及錄像的用途,尤其家中家庸,更要與他們商討有關設施的用途,有關家庸私隱問題可參考入境事務處的外庸條例,如家人反對,就不要強行安裝。

                                                  4. 集中管理

                                                    就是指即使品牌不同的智能產品,也能通過一個或少量的中央管理系統、或應用程式操控,否則一個產品一個管理模式,反而花精力,和手機空間,適得其反。否則考慮購買其他智能產品,應選擇同一品牌,以統一管理平台。

                                                  5. 安裝簡便穩當

                                                    這是指攝錄器、探測器一類的機件,如需要縣掛或貼牆,安嵌部件要夠穩固,減少脫落的危險,而且安嵌過程也要簡便,減少攀高操作時因費力而發生意外。 如產品需配合智能手機的應用程式使用,那麼程式下載過程要簡單,更要注意不佔用太多手機空間,而拖慢手機及程式的操作速度。

                                                  6. 容易修正錯誤

                                                    就是指用上手機應用程式操作的智能產品或系統,發生任何操作錯誤時,能以簡單步驟回覆出錯前的設定,或回覆正常操作模式。

                                                  7. 經常更換密碼

                                                    凡需要智能電話操作的智能產品,如有密碼設定,則要定期更換密碼,以免帳戶資料被盜取,或遭黑客入侵。

                                                  8. 選擇大品牌

                                                    市面上智能產品多不勝數,價格也很參差,同一類產品,可以平至幾十元,貴至幾千元,選購大品牌的智能產品,主要取其有效率又有信譽的售後服務,以及對產品的嚴格監控,加上經常更新安全防入侵技術,大大保障用戶私穩。

                                                  1. 召喚裝置

                                                    主要安裝在房間,如有家人需長時間,躺臥床上,可以按鈴招換幫助,這特別適合居住在覆式單位、或者房間與客廳有一段距離,而躺在房間的家人不能張聲,或只能發微弱的聲音,可以用這種裝置來代替招喚。

                                                  2. 活動探測器

                                                    主要以紅外線技術,在一定範圍內探測生物的活動次數及頻率,記錄數據,有些探測器還可以與智能電話連結,把數據傳送到親人的手機中。適合用來了解獨居父母的家中活動情況,例如進出屋內各房間、廚廁的次數、或者在某一點停留的時間,要是停留太久,用戶知道了,可以致電了解,如需要可及時採取行動。

                                                  3. 智能追踪器

                                                    適用於有認知障礙症患者的家居。照顧認知障礙症家人,其中最擔心的是走失,或者患者忘記了回家的路、家的地址。用上智能追踪器,可有效認出家人的所在位,然後前往找尋。這類追踪器有多種設計,可以是手機應用程式、可以手錶型追踪器、可以掛鍊式。就看用者最適合哪一種。

                                                  4. 健康管理

                                                    健康管理是智能技術其中一項重要的功能,只要簡單的裝置,如手錶、指環,就能量度血糖、血壓、心跳率,血含氧量,更可以收集心電圖及脈膊數據,返過雲端軟件作分析,讓醫生更快,更及時偵測心臟病、睡眠窒息症的風險;而所收集及被紀錄的數據,也有助醫生追綜慢性病患者的病情變化,令斷症更準確。

                                                  5. 環境調控

                                                    這類產品內置感應器,配合系統對網上實時的天氣、陽光、濕度等分析結果,會自動調節冷氣溫度,令室內不會忽冷忽熱,保持理想舒適溫度。尤其夜間睡覺時,人體對冷熱感知遲緩,容易因為冷氣過冷或不足,冷倒或熱倒而至生病。

                                                  6. 跌倒提示

                                                    通常是一種掛襟式裝置,只要佩載者一跌倒便會發出呼叫聲,召喚屋內人幫忙。長者容易跌倒,導致跌倒的原因很多,造成的後果也不容忽視。要是能及時知道並施救,能減少後遺症的嚴重性。
