Abstract

The age of the population in all societies around the world is increasing. Elderly people prefer to maintain their independence, their autonomy and live at home as long as possible. This research take place in the field of the health care telemonitoring system which proposes software solutions to monitor elderly people in their own home. This study aims to make profit of the technological diversity of the several Decision Support System used to detect distress situation. We propose a multi-Agent approach to federate a collective decision process in which each Agent encapsulates a decision support system. This encapsulation enables the real time combination of the decisions.
