Abstract
IoT-enabled smart homes offer transformative opportunities to improve independence, safety, and quality of life for people with disabilities. By integrating connected devices such as voice control, sensors, and health monitoring systems, these smart environments reduce reliance on caregivers and improve their autonomy and dignity. Advances in technology highlight the importance of prioritizing accessibility, user-centered design, and affordability to ensure these benefits are universal and widely available. Addressing challenges such as diverse user needs, ethical considerations, and economic barriers is critical to creating practical and effective smart home solutions. This chapter focuses on how to maximize the potential of the Internet of Things in supporting the daily lives of people with disabilities and explores emerging technologies that have the potential to further revolutionize independent living.
