Abstract

Population aging in Brazil and in the world occurs at the same time of advances and evolutions in technology. Thus, opportunities for new solutions arise for the elderly, such as innovations in Home Care. With the Internet of Things, it is possible to improve the elderly autonomy, safety and quality of life. However, the design of IoT solutions for elderly Home Care poses new challenges. In this context, this technical report aims to detail activities developed as a case study to evaluate the IoT-PMHCS Method, which was developed in the context of the Master's program in Computer Science at UNIFACCAMP, Brazil. This report includes the planning and results of interviews, participatory workshops, validations, simulation of solutions, among other activities. This document reports the practical experience of applying the IoT-PMHCS Method. -- O envelhecimento populacional no Brasil e no mundo ocorre ao mesmo tempo que os avan\c{c}os e evolu\c{c}\~oes na tecnologia. Desta forma, surgem oportunidades de novas solu\c{c}\~oes para o p\'ublico idoso, tais como inova\c{c}\~oes em Home Care. Com a Internet das Coisas \'e poss\'ivel promover maior autonomia, seguran\c{c}a e qualidade de vida aos idosos. Entretanto, o design de solu\c{c}\~oes de IoT para Home Care de pessoas idosas traz novos desafios. Diante disto, este relat\'orio t\'ecnico tem o objetivo de detalhar atividades desenvolvidas como estudo de caso para avalia\c{c}\~ao do M\'etodo IoT-PMHCS, desenvolvido no contexto do programa de Mestrado em Ci\^encia da Computa\c{c}\~ao da UNIFACCAMP, Brasil. O relat\'orio inclui o planejamento e resultados de entrevistas, workshops participativos, pesquisas de valida\c{c}\~ao, simula\c{c}\~ao de solu\c{c}\~oes, dentre outras atividades. Este documento relata a experi\^encia pr\'atica da aplica\c{c}\~ao do M\'etodo IoT-PMHCS.
