Abstract
During the last decades the life expectancy has increased dramatically bringing about an ageing population. Additionally, elderly from some areas of Europe experience geographic and social isolation, which lead to growth of risk conditions. The usage of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to prevent and manage risk situations linked with age related health problems is oriented towards the development of helpful and non-invasive systems. Within this field, the REMOTE project aims at becoming a reference point in the deployment of predictive and self-taught platforms. By acquisition of context and health data the system will have enough information to perform several daily life supporting tasks without user¿s interaction. Keywords¿ Elderly, home environment, Service Oriented Architecture, multi-agent.
