Abstract

Home e-health systems and services are revealed as one of the most important challenges to promote quality of life related to health in the information society. Leading companies have worked on e-health systems although the majority of them are addressed to hospital or primary care settings. The solution detailed in this paper offers a personal health system to be integrated with smart home services platform to support home based e-care. Thus, the home e-health system and architecture detailed in this research work is ready to supply a seamless personal care solution both from the biomedical data analysis, service provision, security guarantee and information management's point of view. The solution is ready to be integrated within the accessible digital home, a living lab managed by Universidad Politecnica de Madrid for R&D activities.
