“…As technology has improved, a variety of potential methods has become available, including global positioning systems (GPSs) [14][15], video recording [16], and small wireless accelerometers [17][18]. Unfortunately, the patient may consider video too intrusive, especially during hospitalization, and a GPS records where a person is in the environment not the level of mobility that is occurring.…”

Abstract-Accurate methods of measuring levels of mobility during hospitalization are lacking. We validated the use of wireless monitors to measure three levels of mobility during hospitalization: (1) lying, (2) sitting, and (3) standing or walking. Hospitalized medical patients 65 years or older who did not have delirium or dementia and could walk in the 2 weeks before admission were eligible. Wireless monitors, which recorded average position every 20 seconds, were attached to the thigh and ankle of consented patients. Direct behavioral observation by trained observers who recorded mobility level was used as the gold standard. Forty-seven male patients (mean age 73.9 years), with a mean length of stay of 5.3 days, generated 187 two-hour direct behavioral observation periods. Wireless monitors were highly correlated with direct behavioral observations. The median kappa was 0.92 and the kappa across all observations was 0.88, indicating excellent agreement. This study demonstrates that wireless monitors validly measure mobility levels among older hospitalized patients.

“…Wandering can be dangerous. According to the Alzheimer's Association Safety Center Six in 10 people with dementia will wander and become lost; many do so repeatedly 3 . Most caregivers prefer to use tracking technologies as a back-up to other strategies of management, particularly supervision by a caregiver and locked doors.…”

“…However, we can single some of the most related research work in trucking and guiding these type of patients. Lin et al in 2006 [3] describe a system that incorporates four types of technologies: radio frequency identification, geographic information system (GIS) and global positioning system. Although the proposed system help in searching the missing patients it require complex setting and experienced monitoring as it consists of a web service server, a database server, a message controller server, and a health-GIS (H-GIS) server.…”

“…Así, recientes estudios geográficos (Garvin et al, 2012) emplean distintos métodos cualitativos, como la foto-provocación 17 y las representaciones en diseño ambiental 18 . Por su parte, entre los métodos cuantitativos se emplean análisis geoestadísticos multivariados mediante el uso de Sistemas de Posicionamiento Global (GPS), Tecnologías de Identifi cación por Radiofrecuencia (RFID), sensores ambientales y la realidad virtual, con objeto de construir un sistema de monitoreo en el lugar (interior de la vivienda, espacio urbano) (Hanson, 2004;Lin et al, 2006;Kaczynski & Henderson, 2008); así como de Sistemas de Información Geográfi ca (SIG), por ejemplo, en el estudio de la distribución de los servicios de salud en relación a la vulnerabilidad socioespacial de las personas ancianas según barrios (Sánchez-González, 2009b). Al respecto, se subraya la importancia de hacer un uso más racional de107 AMBIENTE FÍSICO-SOCIAL Y ENVEJECIMIENTO DE LA POBLACIÓN DESDE LA GERONTOLOGÍA AMBIENTAL Y GEOGRAFÍA.…”

RESUMENEl estudio refl exiona sobre el análisis de los ambientes físico-sociales que determinan la calidad de vida de las personas mayores en América Latina desde el enfoque de la gerontología ambiental. A través de la literatura, se favorece la discusión sobre las implicaciones socioespaciales urbanas y rurales en las dimensiones residenciales (entorno construido), sociales, económicas, de salud, asistenciales (servicios sociales) y culturales, y que promueven el envejecimiento saludable en el lugar. También, se abordan las principales cuestiones teóricas y metodológicas de las implicaciones socioespaciales para la gerontología ambiental, donde destaca la contribución de la geografía, a través de una revisión de las complejas relaciones entre el espacio geográfi co y las personas adultas mayores. Así, en la región existe la necesidad de un enfoque interdisciplinario que enfatice la investigación sobre el análisis de los atributos y funciones del entorno físico-social en el envejecimiento de la población, contribuyendo a la planifi cación gerontológica desde una perspectiva holística.Palabras clave: Ambiente físico-social, calidad de vida, gerontología ambiental, geografía del envejecimiento, América Latina. ABSTRACTThe study refl ects on the analysis of the physical-social environments that determine the quality of life of seniors in Latin America from the approach of environmental gerontology. Through the literature, we develop a discussion of urban and rural sociospatial implications on the residential dimensions (built environment), social, economic, health, welfare (social services) and cultural, and to promote healthy aging in place. Also addressed are the main theoretical and methodological issues of the socio-spatial implications for environmental gerontology, which highlight the contribution of geography, through a review of the complex relationships between geographical space and the elderly. Thus, in the region there is a need for an interdisciplinary approach that emphasizes research on the analysis of the attributes and functions of the physical-social environment in the aging population, contributing to the gerontological planning from a holistic perspective.
