Resumo(s)
A população mundial está a envelhecer, e não se prevê que esta tendência se inverterá num futuro próximo. Aliado a este crescimento, as novas tecnologias têm surgido de uma forma exponencial nas últimas décadas, nomeadamente nos centros urbanos, que já têm infraestruturas disponíveis que continuam a promover o desenvolvimento de tecnologias benéficas para o dia-a-dia dos cidadãos.
A preocupação crescente com a população idosa é um fator importante, e o facto de as tecnologias estarem mais presentes no dia-a-dia da população, permite pensar em formas de aliar as tecnologias à população idosa de forma prática e económica.
Neste estudo propõem-se um referencial de sistema de informação que promova o aumento da qualidade de vida das populações idosas, dentro das áreas urbanas com recurso a tecnologias. Pretende-se assim envolver a comunidade na promoção do bem-estar dos idosos, aproveitando as novas tecnologias.
A realização deste estudo exigiu uma definição clara de Smart Cities: áreas urbanas com tecnologias IoT disponíveis que permitem facilitar o dia-a-dia dos cidadãos, bem como clarificar as necessidades dos idosos. Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática de literatura que permitiu analisar os sistemas já existentes direcionados para esta faixa etária. Os principais resultados da revisão indicam que diversos sistemas tecnológicos podem ser utilizados em benefício da população idosa, por exemplo, permitindo uma melhor monitorização do idoso, podendo prevenir de acidentes e também com o efeito tranquilizante por parte dos cuidadores e das pessoas ao seu redor.
O referencial produzido foi avaliado com a realização de entrevistas. As entrevistas realizadas confirmaram a importância e a utilidade de um sistema que ajude a conciliar as tecnologias de informação com a promoção da qualidade de vida dos idosos.
It is a well-known fact that the elderly population is growing, and that this tendency is increasing in the years to follow. Combined with this growth, new technologies have emerged in an exponential manner in recent decades, particularly in urban centers, which already have available infrastructures that continue to promote the development of technologies beneficial to the daily lives of citizens. The growing concern with the elderly population is an important factor, and the fact that technologies are more present in the daily life of the population allows us to think of ways to combine technologies with the elderly population in a practical and economical way. This study proposes an information system reference that promotes an increase in the quality of life for the elderly population, within urban areas, through the use of emerging technologies. The fulfillment of this study required a clear definition of Smart Cities: urban areas with available IoT technologies that facilitate the daily lives of citizens, as well as clarify the needs of the elderly. A systematic review of the literature was carried out, which allowed the analysis of existing systems aimed at this age group. The main results of the review indicate that several technological systems can be used for the benefit of the elderly population, for example, allowing better monitoring of the elderly, preventing accidents and also by providing a sense of relief on the part of caregivers and the people around them. The reference system produced was evaluated through interviews. These interviews confirmed the importance and usefulness of a system that helps to reconcile information technologies with the promotion of quality of life for the elderly.
