This chapter provides an overview of the various aspects involved in the development of a home care system for the management of dementia, based on the experience of ALADDIN implementation. The ALADDIN platform aims to provide a trustworthy and reliable solution supporting patients and their informal carers in the management of the disease from home. Based on a set of monitoring parameters and measuring scales feeding a reconfigurable Event Detection mechanism used for Risk Assessment and Analysis, the system aims to early detect symptoms predicting decline, avoid emergencies and secondary effects and thus prolong the period that patients can remain safely cared at home. Informal carers are also monitored by the system whereas additional features supporting networking, education and cognitive stimulation are also integrated along with decision support tools for the clinicians. It is an open, secure, interoperable, integrated IT-solution designed according to Service Oriented Architecture principles and credible methodologies for patient follow-up, risk detection and adaptive care.

This paper presents a Middleware of IoT-based smart home, which based on SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) and overcome the problems of sharing family service information and integrating heterogeneous systems. The middleware tries to form a system framework, which is workable, easily integrated, SOA-based loose coupling and conformed to the standard of family service information exchange. In this framework, the middleware, who plays the role of family service bus, becomes communication component of family service that based on SOA infrastructure, supports services, messaging, and web-based services interaction in heterogeneous environment, finds and discovers required web services through service registration and repository. Each business application distributes loosely coupled based on SOA integration framework, exchanges data and driven events via smart home middleware, provides more good flexibility and faster response for changes of business needs.

In the recent one and half decades the service oriented architecture (SoA) is the emerging technology and also inevitable for the web community people. The relevant applications are incorporated together through the web service component that provides bountiful Information to the people and the customers all over the world today. Here orchestration and choreography plays a vital role in SoA. Using the initial and the basic information, it is possible to predict the unforeseen schedule of the scenario through random process methodologies. In that particularly stochastic model is much appreciated for the above said. The recommendations can be obtained through the above method and provides all the necessary information’s to the customers using SoA interfaces. Normally hybrid linked applications were in the form of SoA. In the recent year of 2016 the leading journal established the role of SoA is an inevitable web services component and also acting as a aggregation in distributed systems (Traore, B.B., et al., 2016. Integrating MDA and SOA for improving telemedicine services. Telematics and Informatics, 33(3), pp.733–741). For any cross platform communication and commercial transactions can be possible via SoA modern architecture, which is emphasized in the journal published in the year 2014 (Su, X.Y., et al., 2014. A service oriented tele-health promotion information system with mobile application. Procedia Computer Science, 37, pp.274–281). The integration of Applications which has got some relevancy and homogeneity needs interoperable communications in health care systems. Decision making support can also be possible through the above said scenario which is accomplished through SoA [21]. In the research work 21 relevant papers were analyzed in deep and identified the gap about the methodology is the strenuous job. The real theme of the research work is to provide quicker information’s to the customers without making them in starvations.

The novel BackHome system offers individuals with disabilities a range of useful services available via brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), to help restore their independence. This is the time such technology is ready to be deployed in the real world, that is, at the target end users’ home. This has been achieved by the development of practical electrodes, easy to use software, and delivering telemonitoring and home support capabilities which have been conceived, implemented, and tested within a user-centred design approach. The final BackHome system is the result of a 3-year long process involving extensive user engagement to maximize effectiveness, reliability, robustness, and ease of use of a home based BCI system. The system is comprised of ergonomic and hassle-free BCI equipment; one-click software services for Smart Home control, cognitive stimulation, and web browsing; and remote telemonitoring and home support tools to enable independent home use for nonexpert caregivers and users. BackHome aims to successfully bring BCIs to the home of people with limited mobility to restore their independence and ultimately improve their quality of life.
