Abstract

The incredible increase in smart sensing technologies has provided a very high range of new potential applications for healthcare systems. In this scope, several initiatives are taking the advantage of sensors technologies and the new capabilities to collect properly all the raw information. Thanks to the inclusion and combination of wearable and fixed sensors, image device sensors among others, the number of solutions for accurate health monitoring in different environments has grown exponentially. In this paper, we present a complete system called PROCare4Life divided into two main subsystems. The first, will use a combination of sensing technologies to collect the raw information and get prior knowledge with some detection algorithms to generate a final daily summary of the relevant data. The second, a cloud-based platform, that centralizes the entire ecosystem to perform a multimodal fusion using the collected data, medical information, and other relevant inputs from medical experts. Finally, the system tries to improve the quality of life by providing recommendations, alerts, events, and other relevant information to the users in different interfaces.
