Measurement system for daily activities in a trailer-type living laboratory

Abstract

Withdrawal among the elderly, which is one of the causes of the number of individuals requiring nursing care, has received much attention in recent years. A decline in self-efficacy is thought to be a cause. As a result, we believe it is critical to first assist them in understanding "what they can do," "what they cannot do," and "what they wish to be able to achieve." In this study, we built a measuring system that included three system components: a database management server, a sensor network system, and a robot system to track the movements of elderly people in a trailer-style living laboratory.
