Abstract
The aim of the HMPH project is to specify the functionalities of a movable, opened and adapted living area, enabling a better autonomy by means of appropriate assistive technologies, home automation and electronic devices, linked by a home network. Moreover, it should be able to be inserted in a strongly medicalized facility, as well as in a familial area. To design the interior layout of this adapted living area in a minimal time, we propose a software tool that will allow making the layouts taking the constraints, needs and wills of the resident into account. The software and its prospects of evolution are presented, the first results can be seen at http://www.e3i.univ- tours.fr/CNHL.
Work granted by the “Conseil Général d’Indre et Loire’, France.
