Time-course analysis of activities of daily living(ADL)was performed by non-intrusive monitoring system and questionnaire. We analyzed the frequencies of sensor responses arranged in various sites of house during basic daily activities such as sleeping, getting up, going to bed, toileting, taking bath, washing, cooking and taking meals. It is assumed that performances of each basic daily activity could be confirmed by the activities of sensors responses. Monitoring of basic ADL is practical method to check the health status of aged person living alone.
