Abstract
Emerging demographic changes require new technical solutions to serve the growing elderly population in many countries around the world. Ambient Assisted Living approaches promise to deliver context-aware, personalized services designed to help elderly people live healthier and more autonomous lives. In this direction, we are developing the SmartAssist project, which provides a socio-technical platform based on wireless sensors at home and on the move that detect subtle long-term changes in health status and serve to enhance the user's social network with context-aware services. In this paper, we discuss the combination of wireless in-house sensors and mobile sensors on smart phones to realize unobtrusive health monitoring.
