    Abstract:
    The availability and the reduced costs of more sophisticated electronic devices makes possible to develop and use sophisticated systems also for domestic use. This opportunity beside new emerging market needs is bringing to new life the Home-Care scenario. This paper will present a Home Care system developed in the context of the FUTUREHOME IST project. Its key features are interacting with external health-care service providers, such as the Hospitals, Private Clinics or Emergency Departments, from our own houses by means of innovative solutions. It enables the telemonitoring of vital parameters of the home/family members. Using wireless connections, data collected from different devices (weight scale, ox-meter, glucose meter, etc...), are stored into the Home Network Service Point (HNSP), the FUTUREHOME network's core, from where they are used for further consultations (e.g. patients follow-up).
