Bluetooth Low Energy technology has established itself as a key driver for the
Internet of Things. In this field there exist an infinite number of opportunities, and
the project described in this document is just one of them.
In this work the focus was set in helping people who suffer from mental illnesses
and their relatives. It intends to take advantage of this technology to implement a
presence tracking system able to detect whenever they are not in their corresponding
place and alert the one responsible in case it happens. An analysis of the feasibility
of this system and the performance that could be expected from it is carried out.
In the present document topics such as Bluetooth and BLE specification, most
common uses and its application in beacons among others are discussed.Ingeniería en Tecnologías de Telecomunicació
