Technologies capable of being used by the older adults, with their specificities, to provide new services in the areas of telehealth and Ambient Assisted Living are needed. In this paper, we describe a new service, and its first prototype implementation, in the area of elderly health support at home. Special care was taken to improve the usability, adaptability to user and context and inclusiveness capabilities of the output. The basis for intelligent adaptation of the multimodal output – called AdaptO – is proposed and first versions of the needed services and agents were created.
