Abstract

This article focuses on the use of Digital Technologies for the care of people with Intellectual Disabilities in. We see that Digital Technologies are perceived as assistive technologies for this group, favoring, among other aspects, their personal autonomy. With regard to these topics, we carry out this research, the purpose of which is to identify the benefits and opportunities that the use of Digital Technologies can bring in the intervention with people with Intellectual Disabilities and define the characteristics that they must possess to adequately serve them in situations of emergency. The research design is a systematic review, based on the PRISMA Declaration, using the search period from January 2014 to January 2019. After the filtering process of a total of 205 bibliographic references, 14 studies have been found that meet the inclusion criteria defined in the process. An analysis of content supported by codes has been carried out, using Atlas.ti v.8.4. Among the main results, we highlight that, despite the standardized use of technological devices such as telephones or smartwatches, and the advances in the accessibility of these, many people still have difficulties making a phone call for help. That is why we must think of assistive technologies that do not depend solely on the action that the disabled person must take to respond to emergencies in which he may be involved.
