abstract = {There is a need to integrate advancements in biomedical, information, and communication
technologies with care processes within the framework of the inpatient safety program to support
effective risk management of adverse events occurring in the hospital environment and to improve
inpatient safety. In this respect, this work presents the development of a software platform using
the Scrum methodology and the integrated technology of the Internet of Things for monitoring and
managing inpatient safety. A modular solution is developed under a hexagonal architecture, using
PHP as the backend language through the Laravel framework. A MySQL database was used for the
data layer, and Vue.js was used for the user interface. This work implemented an RFID-based nurse
call system using Internet of Things (IoT) concepts. The system enables nurses to respond to each
inpatient within a given time limit and without the inpatient or a family member having to approach
the nursing station. The system also provides reports and indicators that help evaluate the quality of
inpatient care and helps to take measures to improve inpatient safety during care. In addition, diet
management is integrated to reduce the occurrence of adverse events. A LoRa and Wi-Fi-based IoT
network was implemented using a LoRa transceiver and the ESP32 MCU, chosen for its low power
consumption, low cost, and wide availability. Bidirectional communication between hardware and
software is handled through an MQTT Broker. The system integrates temperature and humidity
sensors and smoke sensors, among others.},
