Remote monitoring allows us to understand the regular living behaviors of the elderly and alert their loved ones in emergency situations. In this paper, we describe WatchMe, a software and hardware platform that focuses on making ambient monitoring intuitive and seamless. WatchMe system consists of the WatchMe server application and a WatchMe client application implemented on a regular wristwatch. Thus, it requires minimal effort to monitor and is less disruptive to the user. We hope that the WatchMe system will contribute to improving the lives of the elderly by creating a healthy link between them and their loved ones.
