| Abstract | Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) aims to provide services to support elderly people living more independently at their homes. Caregivers have an important role as they can monitor and support the persons, and evaluate if they can still live independently. Informal caregivers are important as well, as the demand of care is increasing while the number of healthcare professionals is decreasing and cannot cope with that demand. This paper proposes an AAL home monitoring system able to detect activities of daily living and more complex situations, like problematic behavioral changes, so it results in helpful information for both, formal and informal caregivers, in order to support them on their duties. The system is based on a context-aware middleware connected to sensors, and a web-based application for the monitoring. It will be evaluated for a long term in real world scenarios based on a user-oriented approach. |
