Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) has become a revolutionary technology. It allows hundreds of devices to connect and collect information, send and receive data over the internet, and other activities. The IoT has been applied in various fields; one of them is to support people with disabilities. The interconnection of devices has allowed people to develop activities autonomously, improving their quality of life. Although it is an emerging technology and there are several secondary studies about the collection of evidence on IoT devices, very few are applied to people with disabilities. Based on the systematic review results, taxonomies related to the addressed topic determine research gaps for scientific progress and non-duplication of existing solutions. Thus, this article present the planning stage of a future study presenting IoT solutions applied to people with disabilities, aiming to answer the following research question: What Internet of Things solutions exist for people with disabilities? The results are presented, and the discussion describes the principal features of the IoT solutions oriented to people with physical and intellectual disabilities.
