Abstract

This paper describes the main design aspects and core functionalities of the system architecture created for the SAAPHO project (aal-2010-3-035). SAAPHO aims to provide active aging services to help older people to be more independent, integrated in the society, safe at home, and with the possibility of controlling their health through the use of ICT. Thus, an innovative Ambient Assisted Living architecture was needed to develop in order to offer such services integrated in a scalable, accessible and usable system for the older people.
