Abstract

This paper presents a work of telecare and online monitoring of people with Multiple Sclerosis. The goal of our work is to support face-to-face sessions performed by patients one day per week with exercises at home the rest of the week through the online platform. In order to develop the system, we have used WEB technologies and multimedia technologies. All the tests have been checked by specialists. Initial results are very encouraging, not only for patients but also for their relatives.
