In Japan, the aging population is progressing rapidly. Along with that, lack of care facilities and carers is one of unignorable problems. Despite the fact that the production age group is decreasing, in order to solve this problem, it is not possible to assign many production age groups to nursing care sites. It is necessary to reduce the necessary manpower by technology intervention. Therefore, in this research, we will develop a device for excretion detection using RFID tags targeting care recipients. The goal is to detect excretion by attaching an RFID tag to a diaper and causing it to fail due to urine and feces moisture.
