Our proposal - referring to integrating wireless sensors into cloud systems for ambient assisted living - belongs to the “NOAH” (NOt Alone at Home) E.U. project, which addresses the theme of supporting independent life of older adults living alone, by empowering them in daily life activity self-management, by providing them with a more effective connection to their supporting networks (relatives, friends, caregivers) and by augmenting their safety and perception thereof. That is, even when not requiring constant care, chances of ageing at home are often jeopardized by the fear of being in need of help while unattended or of not being able to deal with daily living disparate tasks. The platform is in course to be implemented as a solution for mobile computing in a cloud computing environment. At the core of the cloud-based service, a data analysis module (Behavioral Analysis Module) explores the user data space for meaningful behavioral patterns. The three pilots designed involve 60 users, in three countries; each user will be equipped with the home kit of sensors and will be paired to (at least) one caregiving person in his personal supporting network. Two macro-types of sensors are involved: environmental and personal/wearable.
