Progress of Home Health Care Sensor in Our Experience: Development of Wearable and Unobtrusive Monitoring

Abstract

Information technology has been applied to monitor health condition. In our laboratory, we have developted and attempted to monitor non-invasively and unobtrusively. In this paper, our researches related sensor development are reviewed. The contents are unobtrusive monitoring with bed, bath and toilet, and smart house. Then wearable monitors with photoplethysmogram, inertia sensor, deep body temperature and oxygen uptake sensor are presented. Finally, the requirement of regulatory science is commented.
