Abstract
In this paper we propose a privacy-friendly eHealth system design providing pervasive care for the elderly or stay-at-home patients. The system integrates services of health status monitoring, organizing assistance and remote access to medical data. The proposed architecture is open and allows seamless integration of new services, service providers and users. The focus of this paper is on privacy preserving mechanisms that provide protection of the sensitive data handled by the system.
