Abstract
A cloud-mobile platform under development in the framework of the SMART ANGEL project co-financed by the Italian Liguria Region is presented . The platform is meant to address the needs of people with intellectual disabilities; it is oriented to support and enhance their autonomy and in particular their mobility in urban environments, and can be regarded as an innovative assistive technology. The platform is a concrete instance of how cutting-edge ICT technologies can act as assistive technologies to empower e-inclusion. The potential benefits for the final users (subjects with the Down syndrome and/or similar intellectual disabilities) are outlined as well as those for health professionals and care givers in charge of their assistance.
