Abstract
Older adults with visual disabilities need constant monitoring of their vital signs, which due to studies already carried out it has been discovered that having this information can prevent disease and even death. [1] Monitoring vital signs is a complicated task, since measuring these biomedical parameters requires sophisticated, large, and expensive equipment. [2] So far, there is no such low-priced handheld device with virtual assistance on the market. That is why we want to cover this need with a vital sign monitoring system that is wearable to facilitate the movement of the patient. The monitoring system must be simple to use and low cost, so that it can be implemented in elderly patients with visual impairment who do not have the availability to always go to the hospital to monitor their vital signs. For this reason, we propose, through the intervention of technology, the use of a wearable system integrated with a virtual assistant with artificial intelligence that helps the patient in their daily activities such as when taking their medicines, making emergency calls, or automatically sending an alert message to your doctor or family member if your vital signs are outside the normal range.
