Resumen:
The aging process results in increased incidence of age-related diseases such as dementia. Alzheimer's Disease is most common among the different types of dementia and, due to deterioration caused, it is essential to have a constant monitoring and assistance to patients. Solutions that reduce the need for physical presence of a caregiver, but continue to provide constant monitoring i essential in the care of this desease. Given the variety of solutions designed to the remote monitoring and cognitive aid, perceives
the lack of a solution that supports the reduction of functional dependence, the slowing
of cognitive deterioration and reducing the burden on the caregiver's life. For the development of these applications, the programmer needs to deal with non-trivial issues, such as: (i) the integration of different forms and types of monitoring sensors; (ii) the transmission of information collected by the sensors; (iii) the availability of information so it can be used by other applications; and (iv) sending alerts to the caragiver. er applications; and (iv) sending alerts to the caregiver. This work presents a framework for developing applications for remote monitoring and cognitive aid to people with Alzheimer's disease. Tools are provided to develop applications that assist caregivers in maintaining the integrity of the elderly. The basic idea of the framework is to create an abstraction for communication between sensors and monitoring applications, so the complexity involved in its development process can be reduce. Validation of this work consists in the development of applications.
