This paper consists of the development of a system to help patients with different disabilities, affected by rare or chronic diseases or any kind of dependence through tele assistance, virtual interaction and intelligent monitoring. The main goal is to increase the quality of life of the minorities who cannot take full advantage of the healthcare system by providing an alternative way of monitoring them with the technology embedded in this paper. The result of the paper is not intended to be a single solution, but a modular system that allows the construction of an application that is able to measure the needs of a health administration and the patients. The paper also pursues an educational training to the facultative trainees in a new way to approach patient treatments. It can improve the quality of life of the patients by saving them time and other resources in moving to the Health center and the professionals can also save time as they can take advantage of the online treatments by using the proposed system.
