Abstract :
An increasing aged population worldwide puts our medical capabilities to the test. Research and commercial groups are investigating novel ways to care for the aged and chronically ill both in their own homes and in care facilities. This paper describes a prototype we have developed for remote healthcare monitoring. This personalized smart homecare system uses smart phones, wireless sensors, Web servers and IP Webcams. To illustrate the functionality of the prototype we describe a series of typical tele-health monitoring scenarios.
