在宅服薬管理支援を目指した距離画像に基づく食事進行度推定

抄録

The authors developed an image processing method for estimating the progress of eating behavior of an elderly recipient. The image processing is based on depth images and does not require any visual markers on plateware such as dishes. The authors’ medication management support system can make a reminder at the correct time (e.g., after eating) depending on the progress. In addition, a human support robot will be able to pass a dose of medicines to the recipient in advance by predicting the end time of eating behavior.
