Assistive Technology (AT) maintains and improves the individual’s functioning and independence, thereby promoting their well-being. But today only 1 from each 10 people in need have access to AT due to high costs and a lack of awareness, availability, personal training, policy and financing. By 2050, more than 2 billion people will need at least 1 assistive product with many elderly needing 2 or more. Elderly make important contributions to the society. Though some people aged well, other become frail, with a high risk of disease. In this paper, we propose a first approach related the design of AT device. This uses open source technologies and gives a new choice in taking medication dosages. “The Intelligent PillBox” allows the organization of several medication schedules that health disorders presented in elderly need basically. Arduino Mega 2560 was took as the principal controller. This prototype contains; a programmable alarm system with an automatic opening and closing system, an interactive user interface and a notification system through GSM network. The development of this device is focused in the support of elderly people and other vulnerable groups that may need for an assisted care.

Hacia una revisión sistemática de la calidad de servicios en la nube en combinación con el internet de las cosas: protocolo y definición del problema.
(Universidad Politécnica Salesiana, 2016) Cedillo Orellana, Irene Priscila; Pérez Zúñiga, Juan Gabriel; Guevara Toledo, Andrea Patricia
La computación en la nube constituye una solución atractiva debido a sus características de calidad propias e indiscutiblemente interesantes, que solventan de una manera efectiva las necesidades de disponibilidad, rendimiento, escalabilidad y elasticidad a un bajo costo y con una baja inversión de mantenimiento e infraestructura por su modelo de facturación “pay as you go”. Por otro lado, dada la aparición del Internet de las Cosas, es importante determinar las ventajas y desventajas la combinación de estas dos tecnologías a fin de lograr software de calidad. Este artículo constituye una primera aproximación de un trabajo de investigación que busca definir las características de calidad a tener en cuenta al momento de utilizar la computación en la nube en soluciones de Internet de las Cosas. Para ello, se propone un protocolo de un mapeo sistemático hacia la búsqueda de criterios y características críticas al momento de combinar estas tecnologías.

Intelligent pillbox: evaluating the user perceptions of elderly people
(UCLan Chipre, INSPIRE Interdisciplinary Science Promotion & Innovative Research Exploration, 2017) Valdez Solis, Wilson Fernando; Cedillo Orellana, Irene Priscila; Parra Ullauri, Juan Marcelo; Guevara Toledo, Andrea Patricia; Ortiz Segarra, José Ignacio
Pillboxes represent a good solution in the adherence to medical prescriptions for elderly people. They are built taking into account aspects as ergonomic criteria, several doses of medicine and another consideration about their design. Therefore, we have presented a pillbox prototype which helps elderly people in taking all doses of medicine. This paper presents the next step towards a useful device, here is presented an empirical evaluation of the “Intelligent Pillbox” by using the Technology Acceptance Model to evaluate the ease of use perception, usefulness perception and intention to use in the future of this new technological device. The evaluation consists of a quasi-experiment which was performed by 45 elderly people, who attended to institutions focused on work with this priority group in several integration activities. Results show positive perceptions of this solution that indicates the intention to use in the future and provide us insights about possible improvements.
Modelación dinámica de la demanda y oferta de una micro-red eléctrica
(Universidad de Cuenca, Facultad de Ingeniería, 2014) Cabrera Tacuri, Andrés Eulalio; Cueva Camacho, Hugo Xavier; Sempertegui Álvarez, Rodrigo Efraín; Espinoza Abad, Juan Leonardo; Guevara Toledo, Andrea Patricia; Ochoa Correa, Danny Vinicio
In this paper a dynamic simulation model is proposed to forecast both energy supply and demand throughout the day of an electrical micro-grid, of a home equipped with photovoltaic panels. The supply forecast considers both physical and climatic parameters, while the demand forecast is based on the different devices that are connected and the activity of the residents. The system enables the elaboration of the daily load and generation curves of the micro-grid.
