Abstract

During the last decade, the size of elderly population has shown remarkable growth, especially in the developed countries of Europe. Main reason for this phenomenon is the improvement of the conditions of daily life at home and work, assisted by the socio-economic progression, best quality private living environments and the enormous development in medicine and biomedical technologies that extended the average age of life beyond 70. In future, further improvement and wider expansion of these principles around the globe will intensify this "population aging" phenomenon, which according to recent surveys by the year 2020 will contribute to reaching the record number of 1 billion people over 60 years on Earth. This paper presents a home architecture that could be utilized to integrate healthcare devices and services as well as identifying solutions for their secure communication within the home environment. This work is supported by the INHOME Project EU IST-045061/STP, http://www.ist-inhome.eu.
