Abstract

Due to the demographic increase of population aging, it also represents an increase in health and cognitive problems for this area of the population, especially for those who live alone and need care and attention for doing his daily activities. An assisted living environment, capable of promoting a certain degree of independence to an older adult person, results an interesting option for the caring of elderly people. The design and implementation of an assisted living environment dedicated to the care of the elderly, is based on the use of a deductive, analytical and modeling research method, with a non-experimental design which allows to develop the system without modify its main foundation. The system has monitoring properties, evaluation of cognitive deterioration and support in drug treatment. The system based on teleassistance and environmental intelligence knowledge proposes, in the first place, a website for environment monitoring, support with medication treatment programming and evaluation of cognitive capacity (ali under the use of sensors, microcontrolled circuits ATmega328 and ATmega256, knowledge about web and Android programming and management and administration of data base and servers). All the data is obtained and processed by the microcontrolled circuits and the server for the sample of results and diagnostics if it is required. To finalize the whole system has been developed under the use of open source programming media.
