摘要: Workloads on caregivers in nursing home are increasing as the imbalance between number of elderly people and that becomes larger. Excessive workloads must be reduced not only because they become burdens for but also deteriorate quality care. One such is routine patrol monitoring status detecting accidents soon possible. If unnecessary patrols minimized, will able to spend their time high touch care humane communication. The authors have been developing an ultrasonic 3D tag system which locate tags real time, employed a monitor positions people. locates continuously robustly, if it can notify about occurrence accident-prone activities promptly, releaved from workloads. This paper describes research background, overview, implementations, experimental results.
