ABSTRACT
The pandemic situation produced by COVID-19 has made access to medical services and personal treatment difficult. For the older adults, this has been a major problem because they often need assistance to facilitate their daily lives. Different types of solutions have been put into place very quickly to alleviate this problem, such as telemedicine or telecare. However, most of these solutions require people to perform some actions manually. This paper presents a solution to monitor people’s activity in a way that is transparent to them. This solution is based on a mobile application that records their movements and estimates a certain amount of activity, and a web platform that allows authorized personnel to request this information by using different type of microservices. This application offers a simple and easy-to-access solution that allows the monitoring of the activity of the older adults to know their status and to be able to act accordingly in case of unusual situations. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
