Abstract
This paper proposed an approach of intelligent healthcare services to support health monitoring of old people through the project named SAAPHO. Here, definition and architecture of the proposed healthcare services are presented considering six different health parameters such as: (1) physical activity, (2) blood pressure, (3) glucose, (4) medication compliance, (5) pulse monitoring and (6) weight monitoring. The outcome of the proposed services is evaluated in a case study where total 201 subjects from Spain and Slovenia are involved for user requirements analysis considering (1) end users, (2) clinicians, and (3) field study analysis perspectives. The result shows the potentiality and competence of the proposed healthcare services for the users.
