Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we manufactured a wearable device using pressure-sensitive conductivity knitting for the purpose of measuring living movement and recognizing these. We considered that the health care and safety confirmation in case of emergency of senior citizen and a person requiring long-term care are achieved by using this devise. As a result of this study, we measured static and dynamic human movement by only fiber materials without using a conventional mechanical sensor. Moreover we distinguished these movements by the high precision using NN, which use measurement values as the input values. From these results, we proved that this device is effective thing to the use of the elderly person watching system or daily life watching system.
