Abstract
This study provides a conceptual framework for a smart home with an embedded electronic health (e-Health) support, utilizing the Internet of Things (IoT) technology and driven by fuzzy logic. A review of existing frameworks in the related field was made to provide a basis for the proposed framework. The proposed framework was then modeled, and the fuzzy logic system to assist in the decision making process of the system was designed using MATLAB. The fuzzy system was found useful in utilizing inputs from sensors in the smart home to process in the rule base and generate responses to provide support for the sick or aged inhabitants of a smart home. The full scale implementation of the framework in existing smart homes may offer an additional efficiency in the IoT services in healthcare support.
