Identification of Transfer Assistance Tasks in Nursing Homes Using Wearable Embedded Sensors

Abstract

In the field of nursing care, the burden of many recording tasks, including nursing care records, has become a problem. In order to optimize the division of work and to reduce the burden of indirect work, it is necessary to have a system that can automatically record the contents of work at the actual work site. In this study, we use inertial sensors and plantar pressure sensors attached only to the back, waist, and shoes to measure movements and recognize transfer assistance tasks.
