چکیده

Technologies capable of being used by the older adults, with their specificities, to provide new services in the areas of telehealth and Ambient Assisted Living are needed.

The basis for intelligent adaptation of the multimodal output – called AdaptO – is proposed and first versions of the needed services and agents were created.
