介護技術定量化のためのウェアラブル全身触覚センサの開発

抄録

In this study, we aim to quantify care skills in the dementia care technique called "Humanitude". Humanitude has been attracting much attention as a gentle and effective care technique for a dementia patient in recent years. The developed wearable whole body tactile sensor aims to quantify the "touch" skill among the four representative skills in Humanitude, which are gaze, touch, talk, and stand up. In addition, we conducted a demonstration experiment using a wearable whole body tactile sensor to quantify nursing care by general caregivers and a Humanitude expert.
