Item Intelligent environments and e-health assistance for aging citizens, the AmIE project(2009) Iturburu, Miren; Gómez De Segura, Nuria; Lozano, Sara; Ruíz, Ricardo; Martínez, Alberto; Acinas, Víctor; De Las Heras, Ricardo; Medical TechnologiesAmIE is an intelligent and innovative system that offers to the elderly people a new way of giving advice on healthy habits and monitoring their health status and daily habits in order to prevent potential problems and diseases, as for example the obstructive sleep apnea, and to help them remain healthy for a longer time. Among the AmIE's innovative aspects there is the use of multimodal interfaces depending on the location of the user, information that will be provided by an indoor location system, and also the profile of the user.Item Managing intelligent services for people with disabilities and elderly people(2009) Abascal, Julio; Bonail, Borja; Gardeazabal, Luis; Lafuente, Alberto; Salvador, Zigor; Medical TechnologiesAmbient Supported Living systems for people with physical, sensory or cognitive restrictions have to guarantee that the environment is safe, fault tolerant and universally accessible. In addition it is necessary to overcome technological challenges, common to ubiquitous computing, such as the design of a middleware layer that ensures the interoperability of multiple wired and wireless networks and performs discovery actions. On top of that the system has to provide efficient support to the intelligent applications designed to assist people living there. In this paper we present the AmbienNet architecture designed to allow structured context information to be shared among the intelligent applications that support people with disabilities or elderly people living alone.
