Abstract
Ambient Intelligence has acquired great importance in recent years and requires the development of new innovative solutions. This paper presents a tele-monitoring system aimed at enhancing remote healthcare of dependent people at their homes. The system integrates distributed and heterogeneous Wireless Sensor Networks for optimizing the construction of ubiquitous scenarios. This approach provides the system with more flexibility to change its functionalities and components after the initial deployment than other analyzed proposals.
