The possibility of allowing elderly and people with different kinds of disabilities to conduct a normal life at home and to achieve a more effective inclusion in the society is attracting more and more interest from both industrial and governmental bodies hospitals healthcare institutions and social institutions . Ambient intelligence technologies supported by adequate networks of sensors and actuators as well as by suitable processing and communication technologies could be one of the enabling factors to achieve such an ambitious objective. Recent researches demonstrated the possibility of providing constant monitoring of environmental and biomedical parameters and the possibility to autonomously originate alarms provide primary healthcare services activate emergency calls and rescue operations through distributed assistance infrastructures. Furthermore proactive systems help the user to perform daily activities stimulating a more active and healthy lifestyle and supporting functional rehabilitation
