Book cover Wireless Mobile Communication and Healthcare (MobiHealth 2010)

Abstract

This work introduces AmIVital, a Spanish project which aims to provide a platform that meets the bases of AAL (Ambient Assisted Living) and facilitates the development of applications and business models for an emerging sector. AmIVital focuses on social needs of first order, and presents the work undertaken in developing the mobile platform. This platform creates a digital personal environment for health and well-being that produces new and innovative e-Health, e-Information, e-Learning, e-Leisure, and e-Assistance services based on Ambient Intelligence (AmI) paradigm. AmI helps make easier the development of services thought to be consumed by elderly, disabled and people with chronic diseases in order to improve their life quality.
