Abstract:
REMOTE aims at an open and innovative reference architecture, based upon ontologies and semantic services that allow plug and play of existing and new services in all domains required for the independent and autonomous living of the elderly and their Quality of Life enhancement. It utilizes ICT and other key technologies in order to provide holistic services to the elderly to support their physical, social or psychological engagement and foster their emotional well being. This paper is strong evidence that telemonitoring applications may ensure maximum gain for patients as long as they are properly designed and implemented.
