A Review on Privacy Concerns Exist in Smart Home Technology

Smart Homes are needed for an aging population in order to maintain their independent living without disturbing their safety or life quality. Elderly-friendly smart homes could be very beneficial for health and wellness monitoring. Recent technical developments including the IoT, AI, and ML have made smart houses quite popular. Most users agree that smart home technology could enhance locals’ standard of life and sense of security. However, a lot of privacy issues still need to be handled before the oldest population may accept it and live independently, for instance, the greater reliance on technology and the surveillance of personal actions. Smart homes’ acceptance depends on how users see their advantages and how they feel about monitoring and data exchange. The intended work will cover the newest smart home technology as well as privacy issues. The purpose of this study was to create a theoretical framework for identifying the crucial elements that might influence senior consumers’ acceptance of healthcare-related smart home services, as well as to experimentally test that framework.
