| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A getting up from bed detection and report system that includes an ultrasonic sensor to confirm the safety of elderly people was developed. This system used a waterproofing-type ultrasonic sensor that was manufactured according to the specified requirements. Henceforth, the system will be put into practical use in the field trials.The waterproofing-type ultrasonic sensor can even be utilized in conditions harsher than that of the past prospects. In particular, that is the applicability to the safety confirmation equipment of a wheelchair and the safety confirmation equipment at a bath. In addition, further development of these systems was possible.
Monitoring equipment of home electronics has been developed for the purpose of complementing the abovementioned equipment. Using the proposed system, which is equipped with a magnetic resistance sensor, the safety of elders from the operation of electrical home appliances can be assured.
