A resident’s behavior was continuously measured with millimeter wave radar for a week at unit-type nursing home for the elderly. Sleep and wandering behaviors that could not be known by visiting were identified. By combining the behavior measurement system that can continuously grasp resident’s position and posture and visits by care staff, the behavior of the resident at night can be grasped more accurately while reducing the burden on the staff. This method was shown to contribute more effectively to improve the quality of elderly life and reducing the burden of nursing care work compared to the conventional monitoring methods.
