Abstract :
Assistive technologies to support a self-determined living of elderly people receive growing attention due to the aging populations. In this context robotic and sensorics approaches can balance handicaps to improve safe mobility approaches. By telematic methods health data can be transmitted to enable a continuous monitoring of endangered people in their home or while being on their way. Thus assistant technologies will support an independent living of elderly people in their used environment without missing the quick support by medical services.
