Abstract

In this article we present the design and implementation of an adaptive panic button prototype to the needs of older adults, and monitored through an Integrated Security Service System called ECU911-Ecuador. We carry out a detailed analysis of older adults who suffer from diseases such as Alzheimer's and require the panic button service, in order to generate a warning to immediately find the location of the older adult who has been lost. The prototype uses a NEO-6M module to receive geolocation data and, as a processing unit, a Raspberry PI Zero that allows the user's location data to be sent through a VPN to an ECU-911 management system that interprets the Contact-ID protocol. Finally, we present an analysis of the technical tests performed with older adults in terms of message arrival times, bandwidth and system stability.
