    The use of technology and mobile applications in comprehensive health care during the last few years, have allowed to increase their efficiency and validity, for which, this has been forced to extend its borders through feedback and updating of knowledge based in the falecias reflected in health care centers, in order to cover all areas of care and treatment required by both the patient and health professionals. A quantitative and longitudinal Cuasi-experimental study was carried out, where the geriatric population of the Home of Elders Sacred Heart of Jesus of Canton Ambato participated in the study after being selected by non-random sampling, whose inclusion criteria stood out in older adults with a age range ≥ 65 years at risk of pressure ulcers in stage I. The data collection was carried out during the months of November and December of 2017. The BRADEN, NPUAP and PUSH with the purpose of evaluating and monitoring the evolution of the participants throughout the study by implementing the use of a mobile physiotherapeutic application (Pressure Ulcer Guide) aimed at offering appropriate and timely postural changes for the prevention of the appearance of ulcers pressure. Due to the almost null existence of information and publication of scientific articles that allow to determine the vulnerable populations to suffer pathologies that are evidenced after long periods of lodging as well as the use of technology in them as a tool of prevention and treatment, it has been resolved to collect relevant information from countries and regions with standardized protocols in order to create, not only a new source of data storage, but the beginning of a field of study that allows to extend its borders in the development of physiotherapeutic interventions that allow prevention of pressure ulcers through the use of mobile applications capable of being used both by professionals in the field of health and by the care personnel in care facilities in geriatric care.
