Abstract :
Ambient Intelligence technologies are going to be used more and more frequently to realize Ambient Assisted Living applications to support elderly and ill people at their home. This paper presents a software infrastructure that enables the rapid prototyping of smart applications for monitoring patients in environments like homes or hospitals. The paper also describes an application built upon such a software infrastructure for patients with cardiac problems.
