News

The iHomeLab can be seen in the news on Tele 1 on 24 October 2024

The ‘Nachrichten’ programme on the regional channel ‘Tele 1’ broadcasts an article on our ‘Recovery Fun’ project, which has developed a tele-rehabilitation solution using virtual reality. The classic Thera rubber band and lifting weights, which were part of physiotherapy at home, are now facing competition. Today, it's VR glasses and playful exercises where the therapist can switch on live to provide support if required. The fun factor plays a central role here.

Media release: HSLU is developing data rooms for greater energy efficiency in buildings, making smart homes a reality for everyone.

The increasing number of electrical devices in households is producing more data, and HSLU is ready to meet the challenge. The SINA project is driving digitalisation forward and developing a cost-effective solution for the secure exchange of data between buildings and energy suppliers. Led by the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts with the participation of the iHomeLab, this initiative is set to revolutionise the way we save electricity.

Research and services

Ambient Assisted Living Forschung

Active Assisted Living Research

The iHomeLab team is developing and testing solutions for the living and life in old age. For example, a smartphone app that helps people with mild dementia and with orientation problems. The app makes it possible for a relative to intervene supportive.

Smart Energy Management Forschung

Energy-Efficiency Research

The iHomeLab team develops systems to reduce energy consumption in buildings. For example, to show the people with a graphical illustration of the energy consumption of an apartment where the energy guzzlers are. Thereby, the power consumption can be reduced.

Safe Building Intelligence Forschung

Safe Building Intelligence

The iHomeLab team is researching how networked everyday objects improve the quality of life in health, transport, environmental protection and social interaction. Safe Building Intelligence provides the answers. We are researching the concrete effects of digitalization and how the interaction between people and systems can be designed. This shall be done in a way that conveys trust and security.

Sensortechnik

Sensor & Health Technologies

The sensor technology team researches photonic, optical and other sensor technologies and combines them with artificial intelligence to create sensor systems for the recognition and measurement of physical, chemical and biomedical features. This technology leads to greater accuracy in object recognition and material detection and allows novel applications in factory automation, personalised health, smart health solutions and digital health.

Testlabor BACnet

Test Laboratories

The iHomeLab checks building automation products for their conformity and tests whether they meet a given standard.
