Given the context of 20% increased number of individuals over 60 years till 2030 and further, there is emerging a real need to support elderly people in independent living while eHealth technologies proved to be promising solutions in this role. The paper presents an eHealth solution via co-design and Proof of Concept (PoC) perspective on Romanian elders, demarches led within the international Active and Assisted Living (AAL) Programme endorsing “smart solutions for ageing well” vision. The eHealth solution, based on open source hardware for interoperability and scalability, supports elders to collect biometric information at home and further provides this info to the corresponding caregivers/volunteers when needed in order to take actions accordingly in proper time. The eHealth system, planned according to Systems Engineering methodology, took in consideration Romanian end-user requirements whose verifications were performed via a PoC implementation. Subsequently the concept will become more comprehensive after several co-design sessions planned to be performed also in Hungary and Italy, partner countries in AAL project consortium.
