Livesmarter_ YIT Digital Living 2013

My Demola Spring 2013 project: YIT our digital living. We worked in a group of 5 students from TUT and UTA. Our solution is a mobile application.

The whole project: http://livesmarter.weebly.com/
 
Our partner is Demola Tampere and YIT. At the final stage, YIT decided to give us a reward for this creative and ambitious project. We also had a stand in the New Factory Openning event in summer 2013.
 
I am glad to work with my teammates. Unfortunately, I can't develop this concept further with my architectural background.
 
Our digital living – Smart housing
Modern technology enables novel solutions to revolutionize living. Ideas related to smart housing have been developed for decades, but wide spread applications have been limited so far. Now we would like to move forward from brainstorming to real action and piloting! In this project we want to demonstrate concepts related to the problems of today, and offer solutions for a wide target audience.

Demo concepts will be related to following categories.

Bringing digital services to apartments utilizing for example: sensors, open data, context-aware services.
 
New business models

How can new business models be utilized for the benefit of the local residents?
What kind of digital services could be implemented in individual apartments or houses? How to make the day-to-day living easier for the customer?
Is there some other public or private services that the living services could be combined with?
Open data and how to make it useful in new forms of living?
 
How could open data best serve neighborhoods and individual apartments?
How to deliver open data to consumers and how to manage the data flow?
Is it possible to extend the time elderly people can keep living in their homes, and is sensor data useful for other target audiences as well?
Digitalization and living in a sustainable way – how to create synergy?
 
What things need to be taken into consideration when thinking sustainability?
How could digitalizing a house or an apartment help sustainable development?
How to guide and help people discover the benefits of digitalization?
