In the previous learning units you have discovered the many great possibilities of the Smart Home.
But are you wondering what the catch is? Are you still sceptical, especially about new technologies?

When technology is at the service of care and prevention it's easy to become a victim of the "perspective gap": seeing the great potential of these new technologies but ignoring the challenges that come with them.

Technology that is integrated into our homes is exciting and can significantly simplify our lives, BUT in everyday life we can encounter challenges when using them, which must be faced and overcome.

In this unit we'll have a look at these challenges. We will recognize that they are not "real issues" that need to be solved or should deter us from integrating these technologies into our lives, but more particularities we have to consider and take into account.
