Popis: Improvement of life quality in the developed nations has systematically generated an increase in the life expectancy. A statistic studies curried out by the French national institute of statistic and economic studies (INSEE) shows a new distribution of age classes in France. In fact, almost one in three people will be over 60 years in 2050, against one in five in 2005, and France will have over 10 million of people over 75 years and over 4 million of people over 85 years. Nevertheless, the increasing number of elderly person implies more resources for aftercare, paramedical care and natural assistance in their habitats. The current healthcare infrastructure in those countries is widely considered to be inadequate to meet the needs of this increasingly older population. In this case a permanent assistance is necessary wherever they are, healthcare monitoring is a solution to deal with this problem and ensure the elderly to live safely and independently in their own home for as long as possible.
