**4. Expected results**

It is expected that by applying IoT technology in this research, it is possible to improve the quality of life of older adults who are in a wheelchair [13]. For this reason, a domain model will be created in which the concepts and associations considered important in a Telemonitoring Architecture for older adults who are in wheelchairs from health and mobility will be identified [14].

This monitoring is done by means of the wheelchair with the use of sensors generating medical information, which in turn presents early alerts, which can be received by the attendants or the medical person through a mobile device, where will make the reminders of medical appointments and medications to later receive notification when the due date of these is close. This chair will also allow the independent mobility of the elderly with disabilities, since it will have a wireless connection and will use the IoT for monitoring according to comfort, performance, maintenance needs and location.

In **Figure 2**, the Domain Model of the architecture of a Telemonitoring system for older adults is observed. in which it can be seen that everything begins with the doctor's assessment of the elderly, this allows determining that this patient requires constant monitoring, the monitoring is carried out by generating medical information, which in turn generates early alerts, said alerts can be received by caregivers or medical staff through a mobile device, in which it is also possible to carry out the management of reminders of medical appointments and medications to later receive notifications when the date of compliance with these is close.

In **Figure 3**, the three levels with which the Architecture proposed in this investigation will be worked are observed: Sensing. In this layer the necessary elements are implemented to carry out the obtaining of the data through the elements of sensors, wearables, among others; Networking and Data Communications: The data sensed in the previously described layer are sent through a medium for subsequent analysis, in this layer are the devices and elements necessary to send this data through the internet, in this layer you can find servers, databases, protocol adapters, among others, this layer acts as a link between the Sensing layer and the Services or Applications layer; and Services / Applications: This layer,

Based on the elements of **Figure 3**, the prototype of the computational system is built based on the IoT business model, allowing the good performance of the proposed Architecture.

This IoT business model is made up of three fundamental layers:


For the mobility aspect, the wheelchair uses IoT technology that includes a Global SIM card, a communication center can be established in the cloud.
