Providing health care and assistance at home becomes more and more important due to the aging society and - in general - a health system under financial pressure. It is generally accepted that these services have to be supported by an e-health infrastructure that enables the exchange of patient related data between different health institutions and assistance systems at home (referred to by the term AAL). In this paper a service-oriented architecture for delivering e-health / AAL services at home using a hardware platform such as a residential gateway or a set-top-box is proposed and exemplified by three different services: (1) telerehabilitation of patients after heart surgery, (2) support of hearing impaired people and (3) the monitoring of activities of daily living (ADL).
