Abstract
The number of elderly people (aged 60 years or over) is increasing significantly. Moreover, this happens in the context of increasing well-being costs and decreasing caregiver availability. Therefore, technology must create assisted living solutions that support elderly in their daily activities and ensure their continuous health-monitoring, safety and social integration while maintaining an acceptable degree of independence. In this context we present the CAMI system—an intelligent system that provides health and home monitoring, supervised physical exercises and interaction between the user and the system is performed through a multimodal interface. The supervised physical exercises are recommended based on the current medical parameters of the user. The results performed by the user are presented in an interactive way using a feedback module. The multimodal interface accepts voice and gesture-based commands and is adapted to the device and to the user profile and preferences.
