Our customer contacted us to ease the end of life of a family member affected by an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This disease is also known as motor neurone disease (MND) or Lou Gehrig's disease and is a specific disease that causes the death of neurons controlling voluntary muscles. As the patient was slowly losing her motor abilities, Casa Domotic was asked to design an scalable and flexible system. The system had to permanently adapt itself and yet continuing to communicate with more and more third-party equipment, in order to guarantee a maximum autonomy for the patient. At the origin, the environment only needed to be a traditional automated system with alert buttons in case of suffocation or other alarm. Then it had to evolve to control the whole house with ocular movement. By doing this, we helped (and are still continuing to help) the end of life of our customer's family member, enabling her to be as autonomous as possible.
