This paper presents an ambient intelligent system capable of monitoring and assisting human subjects at home. AmIHomCare not only monitors the vital signs of the patient or elderly people in attempt to identify a potential dangerous situation but it is also designed to ensure a personalized environment for the user. Other functions are offered: access control to restricted areas based on biometric recognition, gesture and object identification based on image retrieval and processing, mobile robot assistance, real time data processing, data logging and archiving, communication with a remote call center. The system is based on 4 independent modules which may cooperate if required by a specific situation. The core of the system is represented by the environment monitoring module where all the data from other modules is gathered and kept in a data base. The core also acts as a relay for alert messages that are being sent by the other modules (when detecting an emergency situation) to a call center. The medical personnel that arrives at patient's home has access to his/her medical history from the database. The results obtained so far show a correct proposed architecture, minimal adjustments need to be made when the system will be totally integrated.
