Abstract
This research focuses on a solution to assist elderly and limited-mobility people. It aims to improve the autonomy, and, consequently, the quality of life of this target audience by automating daily tasks conducted at home, such as turning on the lights and manipulating electronic devices. However, it is important to consider the costs and quality attributes (e.g., usability) related to the design of solutions to automate a specific environment, that may include hardware platforms and physical adaptations. In this context, the authors present in this chapter the software requirements discovery and elicitation of a home automation app considering the real needs of the elderly and limited-mobility people. Additionally, we conduct the requirements specification using the unified modeling language (UML) to improve completeness, along with graphical user interface (GUI) prototypes. Finally, we present a mobile app prototype using the Android and Arduino platforms to illustrate a use scenario of the solution.
