Abstract
Technological projects and products developed in the scope of Ambient Assisted Living provide a wide range of solutions for the elderly’s and their caregivers’ needs, but typically focused to single aspects of care and assistance. There are systems for monitoring of health signs, along with home automation or home assistance request systems. Multiple needs may therefore lead to adopt multiple systems at the user’s premises, making it more difficult for the elderly and their circle of support to manage their usage and fully benefit from the advantages of technologies. The OMNIACARE platform brings along an innovative concept of integration and adaptation to users’ needs. It comprises different modules, developed in ad-hoc projects, to cover different sides of home care and assistance with one interface in one single system.
