description The World Health Organization declared Alzheimer's disease and its care a global public health priority in 2021 due to its complexity and development, which affects the patient and their caregiver. Alzheimer's symptoms worsen daily, so the patient must have 24/7 care; between responsibilities, the caregiver must deal with arduous tasks, from bathing the patient to managing the behavioral symptoms. By carrying out a systematic mapping, it was possible to identify that, despite the profuse information about Alzheimer's and its care, there is no concise source of information that allows the development of integrated systems that support the care of patients with Alzheimer's. This paper is presented OntoCaimer, which is an ontology that synthesizes the recommendations and preventive actions for most of the symptoms of the different stages of Alzheimer's. OntoCaimer integrates concepts related to sensors, actuators, and measurement, making it possible to use it as a basis for the development of systems that support patient care digitally through alerts or with the use of actuators to support patient care. OntoCaimer allows automating a group of variables associated with recommendations or preventive actions such as weight, environment, and feeding schedules, among others, which would support patient care, reduce caregiver tasks, and serve as a knowledge base for the scientific community and the development of systems that implement electronic systems or simulations before their implementation.

La Organización Mundial de la Salud declaró en el 2021 al Alzheimer y su cuidado como prioridad de salud pública a nivel mundial debido a su complejidad y desarrollo, que afecta al paciente y su cuidador. Los síntomas del Alzheimer empeoran día a día, por lo que el paciente debe tener un cuidado 24/7; entre las responsabilidades, el cuidador debe lidiar con arduas tareas, desde bañar al paciente hasta manejar sus síntomas comportamentales. A pesar de la profusa información acerca del Alzheimer y su cuidado, no se cuenta con una fuente concisa de información que permita desarrollar sistemas integrados que soporten el cuidado de pacientes con Alzheimer. En este artículo se presenta OntoCaimer, una ontología que sintetiza las recomendaciones y acciones preventivas para la gran mayoría de los síntomas de las diferentes etapas del Alzheimer, asimismo, OntoCaimer integra conceptos relacionados con sensores, actuadores y medición, haciendo posible su uso como base para el desarrollo de sistemas que apoyen el cuidado de los pacientes, de manera digital –a través de alertas–, o con el uso de actuadores, todo con el fin de dar soporte al cuidado de los pacientes. OntoCaimer permite automatizar un grupo de variables asociadas a las recomendaciones o acciones preventivas como el: peso, ambiente, horarios de alimentación, entre otros, lo que permitiría apoyar el cuidado del paciente, disminuir las tareas del cuidador y servir como base de conocimiento para la comunidad científica y el desarrollo de sistemas que implementen sistemas electrónicos o simulaciones antes de su implementación.
