Customized web-based system for elderly people using elements of artificial intelligence

Making life easier for the elderly represents a new challenge for the ICT sector. This paper presents a new web-based system designed and implemented with the aim to support the social inclusion and to improve the daily routine of the elderly people within basic information and communication features. The system provides some advanced functionalities to utilise the information value of the data collected within the presented system, e.g. the recommendations based on similar hobbies or health problems; a simple medical diagnostics; a creation of a knowledge base containing experiences and best practices, etc. We designed the system in accordance with local conditions in Slovakia, so its full functioning relies on the progress in e-Health legislation. Presented version is a preliminary result that will be further improved and tested within a real practice.
