The demographic and social changes are causing a gradual increase of the population in situation of dependency. The main concern of the elderly people is their health and its consequences in terms of dependence and also is the primary cause of suffering and self-rated ill health. Since the elderly have different health problems that the rest of the population, we need a deep change in national’s health policy to get adapted to population ageing. This paper describes the preliminary advances of “Virtual Cloud Carer’ (VCC), a spanish national R&D project, whose primary purpose is the creation of new health services for dependents and chronics, using technologies associated with internet of things and cloud computing.
