Appliances
Appliances such as smart refrigerators can help track grocery purchases and facilitate re-ordering directly from a control panel located on the door. Door-mounted screens allow the user to adjust the temperatures in their refrigerator, view interior and exterior camera images, and view the inside of the refrigerator from a smartphone to see what is needed while at the grocery store.
Other smart appliances, such as washers, dryers, dishwashers and ovens can also be programmed, remotely controlled, and set to operate at night or on weekends to take advantage of lower electricity pricing. There are also smart cook-tops/ranges that feature timers, motion detectors and automatic shut-down controls to reduce the hazard associated with use by individuals with memory related impairments.
