Medical Remote Monitoring needs human operator assis-tance by smart information systems. Physiological and posi-tion sensors give already numerous informations, but sound classification can give interesting additional informations ab-out the patient and may help to the decision-making. A Real-Time implementation of a multichannel smart sound/speech system is presented in this paper, it is capable in a first step to detect and identify sound events in noisy conditions, in a second step to classify it into speech or life sound. Accord-ing to that result the third step is speech recognition or sound classification. The multichannel sound processing allows us to localize the sound in the apartment and to select appro-priate signal segments for identification procedure. Recog-nized sentences and classification results are sent to the medi-cal remote monitoring application through Ethernet network. The system is composed of several parallel tasks: detection & channel selection, sound/speech classification, life sound classification, speech recognition and graphical interface. The event detection module is carried out for each channel in real time. The classification modules are launched in a parallel task. Speech Recognition is running as an independent appli-cation on the same computer.
