Abstract
AMICA Project targets to improve the quality of life of patients suffering from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Incorporating advanced signal analysis algorithms and custom designed monitoring devices with a Telemedical Platform (TP), an innovative system is under development to help elderly persons to reduce hospitalization time. After a brief analysis of COPD the sub modules that compose the TP will be described, along with the used technologies.
