Independent living is a big challenge… Could it be as simple as having few big
buttons?
YES and NO

FEW BIG BUTTONS is a proposal for an alternative way to develop technology based services for
independent living.

Current situation I
A wide variety of input and output devices that sense, control and trigger basic functionalities are being developed every day– both as open hardware and close hardware.
This development is referred as Internet of Things (IoT) and it is making do-it-yourself (DIY) “smart homes” possible.

Many of these IoT are buttons….

Current situation II
In order to be able to live longer at home, as we grow old we would benefit greatly from keeping certain basic practices under our control, such as being able to answer the phone, have a video chat with a grandson or buy food online.
IoT is offering possibilities to develop these practices.

“A big button to contact our niece via video” (Opens the Skype app in the mobile phone, logs in, calls the person,
and switches on the video).

“A button I can press when I feel lost and need to get back home”. (Triggers a map app, checks current position and provide directions on
how to get home via headphones)

“A light that blinks when a caretaker’s visit is approaching”

“A big button to buy my regular shopping list” (activates a supermarket online app, opens up the default shopping list
and places an order).

Situation III
• Many people (elderly/care givers/service providers) are already developing and adapting these IoT solutions to their own needs, but they can not share these experiences and practices easily.
• Many people are not willing or able to develop their own solutions (lack of time, IPR restrictions, interest or capabilities)
• There is room for new products to be made both commercially and as a community effort. Some hardware components are missing (e.g. many buttons and sensors, but few controllable lights etc.).

By pooling resources and knowledge through building a platform: a Nordic community and a movement, more can be
achieved, than by isolated technological solutions.

What’s new?
à An infrastructure to leverage already existing technology focused specifically in seniors everyday life needs
à Motivate and empower seniors, relatives and caregivers personnel to network
à Link commercial partners and developer communities with real life communitites

In practice
à A socio-technical infrastructure that converts existing solutions into concrete and viable configurations for independent living. The community collects:à Descriptions, use cases reusable scripts, etc. in
ways that can be shared.
à Documents available choices
à Stewardship and maintenance, both as paid service or voluntary work.
