Some Key Ways Smart Homes Center Your Health
The article featured some of the key ways technology makes people's lives easier and healthier every day:
- Simplified Control: Voice control systems and personalized settings make homes more accessible for those with mobility or vision issues.
- Lighting for Wellness: Circadian lighting from brands like Ketra mimics sunlight indoors to create a healthier environment.
- Biophilic Spaces: Integrators work with designers to create spaces with a better connection with nature through minimalist tech intrusion, soundscapes, and more.
What We Have to Say About the Latest Trends
The circadian lighting mentioned above is the biggest way we integrate wellness into our designs. Travis told Forbes, "Tunable lighting fixtures…that offer the full spectrum [create] the right lighting temperatures for various moods or tasks."
What would that look like in your home? Soft lighting makes it easier to get out of bed in the morning. At night, an orange hue is perfect for encouraging relaxation after a long day.
Travis also pointed out that safety and security are important if you want to improve people's physical health. Many security cameras were featured at CEDIA, with AI and facial recognition being key points this year. When people feel safe, their stress levels go down significantly, as do their physical side effects.
