چکیده

We present preliminary work on a sensor-based system that we are currently implementing with the aim of monitoring the health of the elderly and people with special needs. The system functions both inside and outside the home of the monitored individuals, using sensors and GPS-enabled cellular phones. Its objective is to first learn the daily behavior of the monitored individuals, and then detect changes in their routines and health status, providing alerts and a preliminary diagnosis as quickly as possible when something out of the ordinary occurs.
