Abstract
The chapter describes a teleassistance / telemonitoring system assisting elderly persons, with emphasis on the server component. The system consists of units located in the houses of the monitored persons, collecting and sending medical and environmental data from sensors, and a call centre with a server recording and monitoring the data. Specialised staff will supply telemonitoring and teleassistance services. The software solutions at the server, the WEB Services and the database are briefly described. Conclusions are issued, especially about the ”intelligent” features of the developed system and the related future research intentions: the telecare infrastructure and gathered data will be used for researches related to biological signal processing, data mining, decision support systems, as a step toward future generation intelligent telecare networking applications.
