ALZHEIMER’S IS A PROGRESSIVE DISEASE THAT AFFECTS MEMORY, CAUSING DISORIENTATION IN THE PATIENT, WHICH CAUSES THEM TO LOSE THEMSELVES, GENERATING ANGUISH IN FAMILIES WHO HAVE TO RESORT TO EXPENSIVE SEARCHES. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS RESEARCH WAS TO IMPLEMENT A DEVICE THAT CAN REMOTELY PROVIDE THE LOCATION OF THE ALZHEIMER’S PATIENT OVER A LONG PERIOD TO RELATIVES FOR GREATER SECURITY. FOR THIS, IN THIS RESEARCH, A MOBILE APPLICATION WAS DEVELOPED THAT RECEIVES INFORMATION FROM A WEARABLE THAT APPLIES THE INTERNET OF THINGS USING LONG-RANGE WIDE AREA TECHNOLOGY TO SHOW THE PATIENT’S REAL-TIME LOCATION AND USES PIEZOELECTRICS FOR GREATER BATTERY AUTONOMY. THE REAL-TIME LOCATION OF THE PERSON AND THE RADIUS OF THE SAFE ZONE IN THE APPLICATION WERE OBTAINED AS RESULTS, THE RECEIVED SIGNAL STRENGTH INDICATOR VALUE WHERE THE SIGNAL WAS EXCELLENT OR GOOD HAD A VALUE OF -30 TO -89 DB BETWEEN ...

THE ELDERLY POPULATION CONTINUES TO GROW, THIS POPULATION HAS MANY CHRONIC CONDITIONS, WHICH IS WHY THEY TAKE MULTIPLE PILLS AT THE SAME TIME, THIS SITUATION MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO TAKE THEIR MEDICATIONS AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME, WHICH CAN CAUSE HEALTH COMPLICATIONS AND EVEN DEATH. DEATH. THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS RESEARCH IS TO IMPROVE MEDICATION ADHERENCE USING A MEDICATION DISPENSER THAT ALLOWS AUTHENTICATING MEDICATION CONSUMPTION ACCURATELY WITH A HIGH LEVEL OF USABILITY. TO DO THIS, WE IMPLEMENTED A DISPENSER WITH AN ALARM SYSTEM THAT CAN BE CONFIGURED FROM A GRAPHICAL INTERFACE, WITH INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT) TO REMOTELY MONITOR THE INTAKE OF PILLS AND AUTHENTICATE THEIR CONSUMPTION THROUGH ARTIFICIAL VISION THAT WILL USE THE INSTANT MESSAGING SYSTEM TO INFORM THE CAREGIVER ABOUT THE SITUATION AND FINALLY MEASURE THE DISPENSER USABILITY. © 2024 INSTITUTE OF ADVANCED ENGINEERING...
