SOCIALIZE - Socialize access devices and elderly monitoring service

The document presents the study and development of the Elderly Monitoring service, fully integrated into the SOCIALIZE platform. The function of the service is to monitor the activities of the home occupant, collect and analyze personal and environmental parameters from various, technologically heterogeneous devices and enable them to cooperate and share data. The results of the monitoring can be accessed by doctors, relatives and/or caregivers as deemed appropriate with regard, for example, to the cognitive, health status and wishes of the person in question. In this regard we deploy the development of the SmartSMILE (Socialize MIddLeware Elderly) framework. SmartSMILE is an interoperability software architecture based on Web Services and XML technologies to create intelligent domestic atmospheres that concur at the integration and interoperability of the offered services.
