Abstract
Nowadays, the progressive aging of the population in developed countries is becoming a problem for health systems, which must invest more and more money to care their citizens. One of the most important issues are those derived of the physical and cognitive problems associated to the elderly. In order to reduce the effect of these problems, therapists have to design therapies that should be adapted to each person. To assist therapists in this design process, we have created a new system that allows them to create and manage specific therapies in a collaborative and efficiency way. In addition, the elderly can use this system to carry out their treatment at home thanks to the developed intelligent system that can control the effectiveness of their treatment.
