Anotace: Ageing significantly increases the prevalence of chronic diseases. Public health services expenditures grow in a biased way because chronic diseases are responsible for 50% of healthcare costs. Telemonitoring and Home Support Systems (THSS) can act as early warning systems trying to forecast the worsening or exacerbation of chronic conditions. We propose a wireless sensor network for THSS of an adult living alone in his habitual residence. The system is evaluated by means of a discrete event simulation model using the activity scanning approach. Graphics from sensor data allow to present summarized reports to family and healthcare providers through web applications.
