Abstract: I-Care is a health promotion system designed to: a) monitor vital signs of patients in real time; b) improve the patients’ knowledge of the disease, aiming to increase their motivation to develop healthy habits; c) motivate the patients through their interaction with doctors, friends and other patients with the same disease. The system works through the web, being suitable for many platforms. A group of three people was monitored during four weeks, generating some interesting conclusions about different ways to motivate people to get older in a more active and healthy way. The test subjects were from 56 to 67 years, both male and female, with hypertension, overweight and diabetes. The adopted methodology was both quantitative and qualitative. Results showed that the proposed system can improve significantly the health of the monitored patients, developing in the participants a better understanding about their health situation.
