高齡化居住環境使用智能裝置整合設計通則之研究

因應台灣即將於2026年邁向「超高齡社會」，而如何減輕照護人員不足，以及解決相關資源缺乏的問題，成為目前社會的重要議題。隨著數位科技日益進步，近年來智慧家居可運用物聯網的技術及大數據的資料分析，依照生活的需求實現在居家空間內，並可透過網路的媒介將住宅內的家具、電器以及設備等進行連結，使其得以自動化智慧化，更能貼近人們的需求，提供完整的照顧服務。本研究針對「高齡者居住環境」這個議題提出探討，以實踐橘色科技（老人科技）的精神，讓高齡者能夠安心「在地老化」為主旨，並考量高齡者生、心理等方面老化特徵與生活需求，整合通用設計與智能裝置，探討如何將其落實在高齡者居住環境中，建構符合智慧化四大目標――安心安全、健康照護、舒適便利、節能永續之居家環境。智慧家居是以「人」為中心，結合周邊相關產業，共同推動居家服務的科技。在傳統家庭逐漸喪失照顧老年人功能的現今社會，如何導入「通用設計」為高齡者建構一個符合老人生、心理老化需求的無障礙居家空間，並利用智能裝置之預警、即時通知回報與智慧化、自動化等功能，來補足通用設計所不足的點，兩者相輔相成，來完善高齡者居家環境之功能是為本研究之目的。

As Taiwan is expected to enter a “hyper-aged society” in 2026, how to avoid insufficiency of nursing personnel and solve the problem of resource shortage is a critical issue at present. With the progress of digital technology, in recent years, smart home can be based on the operation of technology of Internet of Things and data analysis of Big Data. Needs of life are satisfied in domestic space. Furniture, electric appliances, and equipment in the houses are connected by the Internet, which become automatic and smart to approach people’s needs, and provide complete service of care. This study is aimed at the issue of “the living environment for the elderly”. Through integration of general design with intelligent devices, it explores how to create living environment for the elderly which meets the intelligentization goals: safety, health care, comfort and convenient, energy saving and sustainability, on the basis of the spirit of the orange technology (Gerontechnology), for the purpose of aging in place, in consideration with the physiological and psychological changes and features of the elderly. Intelligent home is people-oriented, and combined with surrounding relevant industries to promote home help service technology. Nowadays, the traditional families have gradually lost the function to care for the elderly. This study introduces general design to create an accessible home space for the elderly which meets their physiological and psychological needs. Meanwhile, it uses the intelligent device functions such as early warning, real-time notification, feedback, intelligentization and automation to make up for deficiency of the general design (the design and device complement each other), so as to improve the elderly living environment.
