Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To achieve adequate safety support for working elderly people, we developed a method to integrate and analyze biosignal information such as heart rate and physical activity that can be measured using wearable biometric sensors and environmental information such as temperature and humidity that can be measured using IoT sensors. As a significant achievement, we developed an algorithm that automatically learns individual characteristics through daily biosignal measurements using wearable biosensors and realizes real-time evaluation of sudden changes in physical condition. We also developed an algorithm that evaluates personal characteristics and risks in the work environment by analyzing the accumulated biometric and environmental information. The algorithms developed in this study were verified in an actual working environment, and their usefulness was confirmed.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
高齢化率が3割を超えつつある本邦において,年金・医療などの社会保障制度を維持するためには,定年年齢の引き上げは不可避である.しかし,人は加齢とともに体温調節,運動,記憶・認知・判断などの機能が低下するため,働く高齢者の増加は新たな健康問題を引き起こす.本研究では,ウェアラブル生体センサを活用し,働く高齢者の安全支援を実現するための技術を開発した.本研究の成果は,働く高齢者の安全の見守りだけでなく,より安全な職場環境への改善も実現するものである.これらは,安全・安心な社会の構築に貢献するものであり,社会的意義がある.また,生体データ分析の新たな技術開発という点で,本研究成果には学術的意義がある.
