Abstract

This paper describes the OASIS Health monitoring system, a personalized e-health solution specifically designed for the elderly population in the context of OASIS EU funded project, with the objective to empower the elderly so that they meet their social, emotional and psychological needs, take care for their long-term condition, and prevent further illnesses or accidents.
