The improvements of medical treatment, sanitation and living standards increase the Taiwan’s aging population. The Taiwan’s population of people over the age of 65 is growing rapidly and is going to reach over 10 % of population in 2007 that was due to the declining birth rate. A social problem is the supporting of older adults who want to live independently in their own homes. Obliviousness is one of the most common problems result in some social inconvenience and psychical complaint. Recently, technological advancements, such as RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), have spurred various ideas and innovations to apply on elder independent living. The information communication technology (ICT) has the potential to assist elder living independent. In this research, we investigate the role of intelligent agent for the elders to improve successful aged quality of life. The proposed RFID system consists of multimedia interactive platform, RFID reader, and antennas around the elder that performs reminding and habit classification. The reminder is devoted to improving the convenience of elderly daily life. It is like an intelligent agent not only to bring elders convenience and safe feeling but also to improve elders’ self-care behaviors. Elders’ safety is another issue need to be concerned further. The habit classification can classify the elder living habit depends on their stay time and frequency by using fuzzy theory and genetic algorithm (GA). Through the habits classification of the residents’ daily living, abnormal situations can be recognized by our system and send out alert to improve the elder’s life safety.
