The project ‘Daily Care Journal’ is implementing and evaluating a platform for the support of health care networks using AAL technologies. The platform enables the participants of the network to exchange information about the person in need of care and health care activities, depending on their access rights. In this way the information flow between the participants will be optimized, as well as heath care processes. The functional requirements for the platform are described in this paper by employing application scenarios. Based on those use cases a reference architecture for the implementation of the platform is described. A relevant part of the architecture is the definition and the targeted provision of service building blocks. Keywords: AAL, Health care network.
1 Introduction The goal of ‘Ambient Assisted Living’ (AAL) is to connect new technologies and the social environment in order to improve people’s living quality in all life stages [1]. AAL technology can be used for example to support an elderly person to live as long as possible in his familiar home environment. Such technology can be found in home automation, ubiquitous computing or in robotics. Based on such technology AAL services can be offered which are integrated into the daily life of the user and provide intelligent support. Examples for such AAL services can be found in [2]. The aim of the project ‘Daily Care Journal’ (DCJ)1 [3] is to support the coordination of care activities by relatives, friends, neighbors and professional care providers within 1

the patient’s home environment by providing a care network. Part of the project is the conception, development and piloting of the DCJ platform, which can be used to build such a care network. The platform includes services, which allow the participants of the care network, including the patient, to document and exchange information on the actual well-being and problems. Thereby the different points of view of the participants can be collected centrally and be used for improving the coordination of care processes within the network. For example relevant information documented by the neighbor can be provided as part of the tour information of the caregiver. Additionally the patient can be included intensively into the care process and be motivated to participate actively. The DCJ service provides specific views on the av
