Modern information and communication technologies applied in the services provided for elderly people and people with disabilities (target group). My work consists of the state-of-the-art of this area and also deals with a planning of activities in the process of development of these modern services. Th ese services are based on the technologies respecting the principles of an ambient intelligence environment with regard to end users’ needs (special needs of people from target group). In this work I introduced modern ambient intelligence technologies that are available and accessible in Slovakia. All the mentioned technologies will become an equipment of the Ambient intelligence laboratory at Technical university of Košice, where they will be used and tested by elderly people and people with diff erent types of disabilities. One part of the work focuses on the defi nition of the main aims for services development in Slovakia in the connection to research project of the 6th frame programme of European commission project MonAMI (Mainstreaming on AMbient Intelligence) within the e-Inclusion.
