Abstract
WayFiS es un prototipo de navegación personal enfocado a personas mayores. Su principal objetivo es asistir a las personas de la tercera edad en sus desplazamientos urbanos dotándolos de una mayor confianza a la hora de afrontar estos trayectos, que con el progresivo deterioro asociado a la edad van suponiendo un mayor esfuerzo para ellos. El sistema se basa en un par de aplicaciones cuyas funciones se complementan: una web y una móvil. A través de la aplicación web, los usuarios pueden establecer sus preferencias personales, necesidades y limitaciones y efectuar la planificación de rutas, para lo cual se tienen en cuenta los parámetros personales definidos previamente por el usuario con el fin de aportar los itinerarios que mejor se adapten a su perfil. Por otro lado, la aplicación móvil asiste y guía a los usuarios a lo largo de los recorridos, monitorizando la posición actual de la persona y suministrando instrucciones paso a paso para facilitar el trayecto. La herramienta está principalmente dirigida al colectivo de las personas mayores, y por lo tanto tiene especialmente en cuenta sus necesidades y preferencias más habituales, así como las limitaciones físicas, fisiológicas y de movilidad derivadas de las dolencias más comunes. Esta aplicación busca mejorar el día a día de nuestros mayores dotándoles de la confianza y los medios necesarios para realizar trayectos urbanos de manera independiente, aportando a su vez seguridad a sus familiares, cuidadores y/o responsables. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
WayFiS is a personal navigation prototype for seniors. Its main goal is to assist the elderly people in their urban trips giving them greater confidence in themselves in order to tackle these routes, helping them to overcome the increasing effort entailed by the progressive age-related deterioration. The system consists of a couple of applications whose functions are complementary: a website and a mobile app. Through the web application users can set their personal preferences, needs and constraints and eventually perform route planning, which takes into account the personal parameters previously defined by the user in order to provide the best itineraries adapted to their profile. Moreover, the mobile application assists and guides users along the route, monitoring the current position of the person and also providing step by step instructions to make the journey easier. The tool is primarily addressed to the elderly, and therefore takes particularly into account their most common needs and preferences, as well as physical, physiological and mobility limitations and impairments. This application is aimed to improve the everyday life of our seniors providing them with the confidence and the means to make urban trips by themselves, while their family, caregivers and / or guardians can rest easy.
