Abstract

Developing of wireless personal mobile systems and home automation have been in the mind of scientists and engineers for some decades. In recent years a huge variety of mobile systems that offer an increasing amount of applications for personal communication and productivity have been introduced in the market. That trend besides to the apparition of new sensors has allowed the developing of accessible personal telemedicine systems. This article proposes the developing of a Personal Monitoring and Alert System (spanish abbreviations SMyAP) for third age people. The goal of the system is to preserve the user independence, offering attention in emergencies produced for falls, abnormal or irregular bio-signals, etc. The SMyAP will be developed using open-source platforms and programming languages in new generation mobile systems.
