Outline of Final Research Achievements

We developed a positioning method for residents and staff in a medical welfare facility using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Millimeter Wave Radar (MWR). We developed a BLE positioning system with a low barrier to adoption and verified it in an actual facility. We continuously measured the behavior of staff and obtained objective data on their work behavior. We developed the MWR positioning system and measured the position and posture of residents in private rooms. We showed the MWR measurement system improves residents' quality of life and reduces the workload of staff.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

医療介護施設では特に夜間の入居者の見守りは限られた人数で長時間の業務が必要で負担が大きい。本研究のBLEおよびMWRによる施設内および個室内の入居者および職員の行動計測システムにより継続的に客観的な計測を行い計測データを蓄積することができる。計測データの分析により経験者に特徴的な行動が示された。職員による見守りにBLEおよびMWRによる計測を補完的に用いることにより入居者の生活の質を向上させ職員の負担を軽減することが可能となる。
