DomIoT: The Internet of Things for Home Care

Faced with an aging population and a high demand for home support, DomIoT provides an innovative solution to help people with reduced autonomy stay safely at home. Using Internet of Things (IoT) technology, our platform connects and centralizes various smart devices: remote health monitoring, medication reminders, security sensors, and much more. DomIoT facilitates the integration of existing and future solutions, offering a sustainable and effective response to the challenges of home care.

Context

With the aging population, the question of senior autonomy is becoming a major issue, especially since 92% of people over 60 say they prefer to age at home. Overall, the demand for home support continues to rise. Home care helps preserve autonomy, dignity, and well-being while reducing social isolation. It also avoids potential difficulties related to moving into a specialized facility, particularly for people with cognitive disorders.

Our Services

The Smart Closet

This use case is directly integrated into our platform and can be used immediately without additional installation.

Arrow

Facilitates the organization and location of objects for individuals with neurodegenerative diseases through intuitive technology.

Allows quick object location using LEDs and a voice interface. Users can vocally ask where an object is, and an LED will light up to indicate its position.

Each object is equipped with an RFID tag to ensure it is properly stored.
Caregivers can register storage locations in the database and attach corresponding RFID tags.

The Connected Schedule

Similarly, this use case is already implemented in our platform

The caregiver can create, modify, or delete events for the assisted person

Event notifications and reminders for the assisted person via audio playback through Home Assistant

The assisted person can indicate whether an event is completed (or not), allowing the caregiver to monitor it

Interfaces by User Type

Assisted person interface

Graphical interface for the assisted person, accessible through our platform, in addition to other use cases

Caregiver interface

Graphical interface for the caregiver

Our Platform

IoT is extremely useful in home assistance for dependent individuals, enabling continuous health data monitoring and autonomy support. A classic example includes fall detection or home automation.

The DomIoT project aims to develop a smart home platform integrating IoT services for home care. It is based on Home Assistant, customized to assist individuals and simplify the addition and management of connected devices.

This platform centralizes tools and integrates sensors to improve the lives of assisted individuals and their caregivers.

The interface adapts to user profiles: assisted individuals, families, caregivers, and technicians. Each accesses suitable functionalities for a simple and secure experience.

Authentication

Authentication for all platform users is integrated and follows the OpenID Connect protocol.

Our authentication system allows healthcare professionals to use ProSanté Connect, a service provided by the Agence du Numérique en Santé.
