Abstract
Elderly people usually have some disabilities that get worst with the years. Many times these disabilities difficult the tasks carried out in a normal independent life, as is the case with home tasks. In addition, about one fourth of the household accidents happen in the kitchen. Within the framework of a European project -Easyline plus-, we have developed a tool to evaluate the quality of life of elderly people based on kitchen activity, extracted from data provided by the appliances. Such a tool has found to be very useful for social carers in order to monitor elderly activity, and as an objective support for diagnosis of the evolution of the personal abilities and autonomy of the user. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
