This paper describes how complex data analysis algorithms are being employed to develop a new generation of telecare aimed at helping older people remain living more independently in their own homes for longer. The paper begins by explaining why governments throughout the world are encouraging the development and deployment of new telecare solutions-due in the main to a gradual but constant shift in demographics. Details of a new generation of telecare called 'well-being monitoring' being developed in the UK under the DTI (Department of Trade and Industry) NWTM initiative are provided, DTI [1]. The paper describes how the DTI funded 'Care in the Community Centre' led by BT, has developed a concept model to represent an individual's well-being. The paper goes on to provide an in depth explanation of the Intelligent Data Analysis techniques to be used for monitoring changes in well-being.
