Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we aimed to establish a system to improve the quality of sleep not only for the caregiver but also for the caregiver by supporting the nursing environment based on the individual's sleep characteristics. Specifically, we developed a system that encourages caregivers and those in need of care to take the initiative in changing their behavior in order to improve the quality of sleep by providing appropriate voice and appliance control based on individual sleep characteristics. In addition, we have developed a system that encourages mutual acceptance and enables both parties to receive appropriate support at the right time.
