Abstract
Current technological trends have inspired the use of automation concepts to improve life quality, energy consumption, accessibility and comfort in environments where persons tend to spend time, be it at work, home or leisure spaces. Assistive Domotics is oriented in developing solutions to assist persons with reduced capacity, and disabled and elderly persons, using technological devices, automation systems and more adequate environments. The goal of this paper is to present a Structured Methodology for Assistive Domotics as an Integrated Automation Solution based on the diagnostic of needs to assist persons, and the analysis and design of environments with technological integration and universal design concept. The methodology considers the involvement of various devices to create scalable, friendly and accessible systems. To validate the proposed methodology some cases studies are presented.
