This diag nosis is usually performed by personal and periodic application of psycho logical assessment instruments. This situation encourages the development of novel approaches able to monitor risk situations in social interactions to obtain early diagnosis and implement appropriate measures. This paper presents the development of a prediction model of social isolation in older adults through Ambient Intelligence (AmI) and Social Networking Sites (SNSs). The p redictive model has been evaluated in terms of it s accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, predictive values. This paper also presents the results of a n experimental test applying the proposed approach with real users, obtaining a prediction accuracy of 87% a nd a type II error rate of 15%. The proposed model will benefit institutions interested in developing technological solutions to detect early stages of social isolation, resulting i n improving the quality of life of older adults. 2016 artículo científico 1405-5546 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=61544821013 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=615 Computación y Sistemas application/pdf Instituto Politécnico Nacional Computación y Sistemas (México) Num.1 Vol.20
