Abstract
This paper presents an intelligent system for elderly people care at home that has been implemented and tested in real life environments. The expert system is based on the principle of no intrusion. It uses plug-and-play sensors and machine learning algorithms to learn the elderly’s usual activity. If the system detects that something unusual happens (in a wide sense), it sends at real-time alarm to the family, care center or medical agents, without human intervention. The system is actually running in dozens of homes with an accuracy larger that 81 %.
