Abstract(s)
In health care there has been a growing interest and investment in new
tools to have a constant monitoring of patients. The increasing of average life ex-pectation and, consequently, the costs in health care due to elderly population are
the motivation for this investment. However, healthmonitoring is not only important
to elderly people, it can be also applied to people with cognitive disabilities. In this
article we present some systems, which try to support these persons on doing their
day-to-day activities and how it can improve their life quality. Also, we present an
idea to a project that tries to help the persons with cognitive disabilities by providing assistance in geo-guidance and keep their caregivers aware of their location.
