Outline of Final Research Achievements

Looking to an aging society, watching over the "elderly living alone" is a big social problem. Amid the increase in the elderly population in Japan, especially in remote islands, the population declined remarkably, and the number of residents supporting elderly people is also declining. In this research, five types of sensor technologies are used to judge whether to go out and go home, estimate the dangerous condition of the elderly at home, and send an alert e-mail to the concerned person and report it.
In the final year, we conducted demonstration experiments on these sensor technologies and confirmed the operation of the system. On the other hand, in order to further study the improvement of the accuracy of risk estimation for elderly people, it is necessary to model and model the lives of elderly people by Iot technology, etc., and to conduct experiments and studies for practical application of risk estimation.
