SMART Thinking is a consultancy that specialises in designing appropriate acceptable technological solutions for disabled or older people which meet their specific needs and wishes.

SMART Thinking has also worked closely with multidisciplinary consortiums in developing strategies for technology in homes within the health and care fields.

Designing for specific people requires new methods of investigation in order to ensure that real need is met with acceptable appropriate technological solutions.

SMART Thinking was original born out of its CEO's work at RGU on the CUSTODIAN project where he designed two smart homes in Dundee, Scotland. The Consultancy exists within the University in order to provide and generate further research as well as to maintain an impartial stance on the up and coming technologies. Although it is clear through theses pages that the consultancy endorse the use of EIB technology the team understand that to be tied to one technology is not feasible in order to meet all needs and therefore use the most appropriate technology for each case, which in many cases is NO HIGH-END TECHNOLOGY.

SMART Thinking has worked with a number of companies including Aberdeen Social Services; Telecare Services Association; Telecare Aware; Which? Magazine; Barnet Council; Microsoft Research UK; Age Concern; MHA Care Group; Goldshield Security Services; EATS/TORT Ninewells Hospital Dundee; Colin Price (Ivory Egg); Eskhill and Co and a number of other companies and academic institutions.

Through the process of design and installation SMART Thinking experienced the positive and negative aspects of the design process, and developed the ability to design specified smart homes to meet the needs of a wide range of disabled people.
