Abstract
Many of the Ambient Assisted Living Technologies (AALT) available in the market to the end-users with long term health condition have no common inter-operational protocol. Each product has its own communication protocols, different interfaces and interoperation which limits their solution reliability, flexibility and efficiency. This paper presents assisted living platform solution for elderly people with long term health condition based on wireless sensors networking technology. The system includes multi feedback sensor arrangements for monitoring, such as: blood pressure, heart rate and body temperature. Each sensor has been integrated with the necessary near real time embedded and wireless protocols that allow data collection, transfer and interoperate in ad-hoc bases. The data will be communicated wirelessly to central data base system and shared though cloud network. The collected data will be processed and relevant intelligent algorithms will be deployed to ensure certain actions taken place when health condition warnings arise. These warnings to be communicated to relevant carer, General Practitioner (GP) and health authority to take the necessary action and steps to handle such end user health condition warnings. The proposed solution system will provide the flexibility to analyse most of the health conditions based on near real time monitoring technology. It will enable the population of elderly with long term health condition to manage their daily life activities within multiple environments i.e. from their comfort home, care centres and hospitals. The data and information will be treated with high confidentiality to ensure end-users integrity and dignity have been maintained.

THE raising population of seniors with long term health condition in the EU and around the world faces significant challenges in managing their daily life activities
This paper was submitted on January 5, 2017; revised on May 9, 2017; and accepted on June 1, 2017. This burden is replicated across health service providers throughout the EU and is shared by informal and formal care providers who play a major role in providing the point of care services and support
All of which require active monitoring and intervention, failure to deliver the necessary care to this community can lead to reduced quality of life and death. 63% of all deaths in the world are within the older adult population and may have been due to one of these chronic long term health condition (LTC)’s
Summary
THE raising population of seniors with long term health condition in the EU and around the world faces significant challenges in managing their daily life activities. To live independently and have a good quality of life is very challenging, since the majority of older adults have a long term health condition (LTC) which requires some interventions. Medway EPR: is a UK Company: Medway EPR is a family of products, built for the UK health sector, which appear to cover all aspects of patient management and care, it has been identified that there seems to be no case driven aspect to their EPR with built in alerts and monitoring solutions integrated with monitoring devices and sensors These show that there is a serious need to develop a new approach that could enable each devices and units to communicate with each other and transfer data wirelessly without any interface technology barriers.
