Abstract

This paper presents the Portuguese Experience within the IBCoBN project of the European ACTS program aiming to use CaTV networks as a communication infrastructure for interactive services. In particular, high quality videotelephony has been evaluated in a set of remote care services to support the continuance of independent living of people with special needs and to allow the development of new community support structures.
