Implementación de sistemas e-textiles orientados al cuidado de la salud del adulto mayor : implementación de un sistema e-textil orientado al monitoreo de la saturación arterial de oxígeno del adulto mayor.

Abstract

This degree project presents the implementation of an e-textile system, that focuses on monitoring the older adult's arterial saturation of oxygen. If the patient presents low percentages of saturation, the system notifies to the user by connecting to the Internet towards a mobile app and email. The first section makes a description of the component to be developed, then both the general and specific objectives are stablished, which are necessary for the system. The second section describes the methodology used in function of the objectives established, in order to fulfill each of them. The third part establishes the necessary requirements for the system, in addition to the definition of both hardware and software components, based on research about microcontrollers with integrated Wi-Fi module, pulsioximeter sensor and IoT platforms that permit to adapt the system in the best way possible. Additional, specifies the implementation procedure of e-textile system, as well as the functional tests made. Finally, the sections 4 and 5 cover the conclusions and recommendations in function of the project, which will help in the development of future projects.
