ItemMobile follow-up system for elderly and disabled people(IEEE, 2018-11)This paper focuses on elderly and disabled people who live alone and run certain risks, such as frequently falling, entering dangerous places within the house (the second floor, the attic, the basement) or being unable to handle certain problems. Each person has particular needs which must be considered. It is even necessary to foresee that they may not face difficulties only in their houses, but also when they go shopping or for a walk. In such occasions, they may lose their sense of direction. Mobile technologies can provide solutions to these problems, generating a non-invasive control system which may be monitored by family members and friends. Using an app with such characteristics helps the person feel free and safe at the same time. This paper presents a mobile app prototype for planned care and follow-up of elderly or disabled people. The app uses the sensors in devices such as GPSs, accelerometers, barometers, etc, and enables a noninvasive control and follow-up system. The Android developed app can be easily installed on a wide variety of devices, and facilitate its portability towards android based wearable platforms such us Wear OS and Android Wear. This makes the use of this app more transparent, safer, and less invasive.

ItemInterfaces tangibles : una nueva forma de interactuar con los smartphones(Universidad Nacional del Nordeste. Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, 2018)Las interfases de usuario tangibles (TUI) proponen una forma más natural de manejar un dispositivo. Este trabajo se enfoca en proponer nuevas formas de interacción con los smartphones aprovechando para eso todo el hardware que los mismos tienen disponible. Con hardware no se hace referencia únicamente a la memoria interna, capacidad de almacenaje… sino a un conjunto de sensores y componentes que los mismos tienen. Estos sensores y componentes permitirán enriquecer las aplicaciones e incluso la interfaz de usuario. Si bien es cierto que esto puede favorecer a personas con discapacidades e incluso a quienes no son nativos digitales y no tienen afianzado el manejo de la tecnología, consideramos que el uso de TUI facilita las tareas y el tiempo de ejecución de las mismas lo cual es placentero para todo tipo de usuario que tenga poco tiempo y necesidad de concretar una determinada acción con su teléfono móvil.
