**2. Theoretical framework**

According to an analysis of the experience of the Australian System of Care for Older Adults, which for Pérez [9] is considered one of the most advanced among experts and public policy analysts and in which he exposes three fundamental pillars, among which is the development of efficient operational skills, highlighting as one of these efficient skills the importance of technology and innovation as key factors to improve the effectiveness of the system. Successful experiences of technological innovation that range from the implementation of computerized systems to solutions such as tableware at home, which defines it as a type of permanent video-conference with the patient at home, reminding her to take her medicines, offering her a health channel.

An e-Health project at the national level is the Mobile Telehealth System, designed in the College of Engineering of Antioquia by Garcia and Torres [10], it consists of a system composed of three main blocks that are: Input subsystem which by means of Sensor collects the patient's vital signs and sends them to another block, the Local subsystem, which is made up of different devices and elements that receive this

information and send it to the third block, the Remote Subsystem, which is responsible for storing the information in a database of data and sample it through a website.

In Colombia, this type of project related to telemedicine and e-Health has had very little demand, it is a recent technology and they are projects that are carried out as a commitment to innovation in these fields of health and mobility. At the regional level, no reports of projects aimed at monitoring older adults were found, this serves as motivation for the implementation of projects such as the Architecture for the Telemonitoring System for Older Adults who are in wheelchairs mentioned in this research and to be able to carry out a significant contribution for the elderly in the city of Bogotá.
