Electrodependent Patients: Regulations, Possible Technical Solutions and Case Study

Frias, G.; Catuogno, G.; Rivera, M.; Wheeler, P.; Garcia, G.

Abstract

This article discusses the energy poverty of electrodependent patients and their struggle for the rights of uninterrupted and quality electrical services. A review of regulations in different South American countries is carried out, different support systems are compared to ensure continuous service and finally, as background, a case study implemented by the Laboratory of Appropriate Technologies (LabTA) to an electrodependent patient, is presented.
