“…The aim of UA is to provide intelligible information directed to the caregivers about the care receiver (Costa et al, 2014). The UA is a natural evolution of the iGenda, taking advantage of its architecture and communication methods.…”

Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) and Ambient Intelligence (AmI) try to achieve a future where technology surrounds the users and helps them in their daily lives. In this sense, the urgent need of solutions to cover the rapid increase of the elderly population with chronic diseases led to the increase of projects related with AAL and AmI. During the latest years, several projects have been proposed to tackle different medical problems, some building devices and others services. This paper presents iGenda and its evolution, the UserAccess, with the main objective of developing an AAL platform. It features an analysis of the latest developments and points future directions for the work. These projects display the importance of the interoperability of the platforms, demonstrating a case study for AAL development.

“…Later we can find references to context aware systems based on multi-agent systems, for example, the authors in [8] propose a set of agents that interact with the different sensors in a room, and other systems such as [15] can send alerts when upon detecting an anomalous situation. Other recent studies such as [16] develop a caregiver platform to manage and fuse information gathered from multiple sensors. While the applications are diverse, the study in [4] clearly indicates that location is an important aspect to consider in this kind of system.…”

Monitoring and tracking people at home usually requires high cost hardware installations, which implies they are not affordable in many situations. This study/paper proposes a monitoring and tracking system for people with medical problems. A virtual organization of agents based on the PANGEA platform, which allows the easy integration of different devices, was created for this study. In this case, a virtual organization was implemented to track and monitor patients carrying a Holter monitor. The system includes the hardware and software required to perform: ECG measurements, monitoring through accelerometers and WiFi networks. Furthermore, the use of interactive television can moderate interactivity with the user. The system makes it possible to merge the information and facilitates patient tracking efficiently with low cost.

“…Therefore, several scopes were projected responding to the various user spheres, ones regarding the user and its direct monitoring, others monitoring the home, and others providing information. As presented before, the UserAccess [19,20] platform was developed within the scope of the AAL4ALL project and, in simplified terms, consists in a platform that provides information about the actor being monitored. Corresponding to the information sphere, the UserAccess focuses the user monitored but it is not designed to be used by him/her, but by others that directly interact with them.…”

Abstract. The areas of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) and Intelligent Systems (IS) are in full development, but there are still some issues to be resolved. One issue is the myriad of user oriented solutions that are rarely built to interact or integrate with other systems available in the market. In this paper we present the AAL4ALL project and the UserAccess implementation, showing a novel approach towards virtual organizations, interoperability and certification. The aim of this project is to provide a collaborative network of services and devices that connect every user and product from other developers, building a heterogeneous ecosystem. Thus establishing an environment for collaborative care systems, which may be available to the users in from of safety services, comfort services and healthcare services.
