The Hn2ph Project: A Database To Help Prescription Of Assistive Technologies

The aim of the HM2PH (Habitat Modulaire et Mobile pour Personnes Handicapees) 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. After a short presentation of the software (see http://www.hant.li. univ-tours.f/webhant/HM2PH for further details), this paper describes the databases used in our tool.
