A master dissertation on «How can home automation better support a doctor’s surgery?” has been published end of April 2015. This dissertation focuses on the development of home automation and other technologies in a doctor’s surgery. The dissertation concludes that home automation can have an impact on financial as well as comfort level in a doctor’s surgery. The automation of access control and the simplification of daily tasks can generate a gain of time. However only a few general practitioners in Flanders have installed a home automation system in their surgery.
