Supporting Active Aging Through A Home Automation Infrastructure for Social Internet of Things

The number of smart devices inside the living environments grows more and more every , and with it the need to interface them in order to share data and activate functions. day, new scenarios and new applications emerge to make our lives easier in many contexts. The AAL SOCIALIZE project aims to create a new reference platform active ageing by applying technological solutions to care for the health of the elderly, their daily activities, simplify their access to dedicated services. work presented herein describes the "Elderly Monitoring service" ‒ an IoT module of SOCIALIZE platform, whose aim is to monitor elderly people's activities and parameters and to combine smart device functions. This modeling process actively contribute to anticipating, and thereby preventing, emergency situations, elderly autonomy and making them feel "protected" and "safe". this regard, the system implements a practicable, scalable solution that allows devices belonging to different domotic systems using diverse protocols to with each other, share data and services and bind together through ‘friendship’, creating an infrastructure suitable for the creation of a true Social IoT (SIoT).
