This paper presents the approach of an e-health system for cardiac telemonitoring which uses the development board LinkIt ONE as a monitoring system. Such board was adapted to measure the cardiac pulse, analyze it and determine whether a person is having a cardiac arrhythmia or not. When an arrhythmia appears, the prototype activates an alarm in order to report the patient's condition and its location to a caregiver or a close healthcare center. The data of the cardiac pulse is originated in an e-health sensor platform connected to an Arduino. Location data comes from a GPS module in the aforementioned board which is connected by WiFi with the virtual platform UBIDOTS. It provides visual information about the variables measured, the patient's location and the alarms; keeping the patient's caregiver or the healthcare center constantly informed.
El alzhéimer es una enfermedad que afecta en gran proporción a los adultos mayores, siendo un grave problema para aquellas personas que la padecen y para quienes los rodean debido a las altas probabilidades que tienen los enfermos de perder la ubicación en cualquier momento; es por esto que se genera la propuesta de un sistema GPS vía wifi con la plataforma LinkIt ONE, que permita la geolocalización de las personas con enfermedad de alzhéimer. Se realiza el desarrollo de un algoritmo obteniendo resultados positivos en el uso del sistema GPS y la comunicación con la plataforma Ubidots a través de wifi, con un margen de error aceptable para la geolocalización, tanto en un mapa como en los datos de latitud y longitud.
