Abstract

The objective of the current curriculum integration work was the development and application of an IT tool that allows a better management of gerontological information of older adults in comprehensive care centers, also known as geriatrics, considering the healthcare crisis mankind is facing these days, and given that the virus is lethal in the elderly, it was decided to select a practical case. The Comprehensive Care Center for the Elderly is a care center for the elderly located in the city of Guano, Chimborazo province. In this place we register the daily activities performed by the older adults using IT tools in the center and the ability to carry out these activities in a dependent or independent way, as well as a series of questions in a survey based on patterns of self-functional perception of the older adults, in addition to a development module of recreational activities, all the required information was verified based on the General Regulations for Older Adults proposed by the Ministerio de Inclusión Económica y Social MIES (Ministry of Economic and Social Inclusion), in 2019 along with the comprehensive care center. Once the system was implemented in the center, we obtained acceptable levels of efficiency and portability related to the registration of the activities of older adults in a systematic way. It is recommended to implement the application developed in different comprehensive care center for the elderly to increase the domain of geriatric information collected.
