Abstract
In recent years, we have two problems for aging society in Japan. One is the problem that the elderly people are fall out of bed. This is likely to occur by rolling over. So it is reported that the care of constant attendance is required. By the way, the other is the bedsore problem of bedridden patients. The bedridden elderly people have a problem that they cause the congestion or the pressure ulcer. This is because they keep the same posture for a long time and the pressured body has been inhibited. So it is essential to change the postural of the patients. Further, the burden of caregivers is large. Therefore, in this study, as care support equipment practical, we develop an active sensing mat that is effective for prevention of the congestion and the falls from bed. In addition, we reveal the effectiveness of the proposed mat.
