In this paper, the authors propose software architecture to monitor elderly or dependent people in their own house. Many studies have been done on hardware aspects resulting in operational products, but there is a lack of adaptive algorithms to handle all the data generated by these products due to data being distributed and heterogeneous in a large scale environment. The authors propose a multi-agent classification method to collect and to aggregate data about activity, movements, and physiological information of the monitored people. Data generated at this local level are communicated and adjusted between agents to obtain a set of patterns. This data is dynamic; the system has to store the built patterns and has to create new patterns when new data is available. Therefore, the system is adaptive and can be spread on a large scale. Generated data is used at a local level, for example to raise an alert, but also to evaluate global risks. This paper presents specification choices and the massively multi-agent architecture that was developed; an example with a sample of ten dependant people gives an illustration.

“…Despite the indisputable results of the projects mentioned above it can be stated that flexibly combinable and co-operating embedded devices and software components are difficult to implement, especially in the healthcare sector, due to the multitude of specialised, partly proprietary communication protocols and interfaces [11][12] [13]. The use of service-oriented architectures together with broadly accepted, open standards could help to cope with these challenges.…”

In this paper conceptions and architectural considerations of the OSAMI project and their specializations towards the requirements of the e-health domain by the German subproject (OSAMI-D) are described. Along with the expected shift of healthcare service between stationary towards ambulatory care, a standardized way of integrating medical data acquired at home into the IT infrastructure of hospitals and the synchronization with medical workflows have to be implemented. Therefore, the OSAMI-D project will provide open source components that implement the required interfaces. Preliminary results of the requirements analysis and the implementation of first domain-specific services are presented. These services are used to realize two home care scenarios, which support ambulant cardiologic rehabilitation (indoor and outdoor). Special emphasis is placed on standards and formats for the communication and storage of patient data.

Home Care is one of the main objectives of Ambient Intelligence. Nowadays, the disabled and elderly population, which represents a significant part of our society, requires novel solutions for providing home care in an effective way. In this chapter we present HoCaMA, a hybrid multiagent architecture that facilitates remote monitoring and care services for disabled patients at their homes. HoCaMA combines multiagent systems and Web services to facilitate the communication and integration with multiple health care systems. In addition, HoCaMA focuses on the design of reactive agents capable of interact with different sensors present in the environment and incorporates a system of alerts through SMS and MMS mobile technologies. Finally, it uses RFID and JavaCard technologies to provide advanced location and identification systems as well as automatic access control facilities. HoCaMA has been implemented in a real environment and the results obtained are presented within this chapter.
