Research Abstract

We have developed a method to collect and analyse behavioural data taken of the residents at care houses. The result suggest that falling out can be predicted and the start of terminal period can be detected by analysing the behavioural data. Our finding will help us to improve the quality of life for the elderly. We also noticed that care houses vary in many respects and it is yet to be known how universal our findings are by looking into more cases.
Concerning the prediction of caregivers' behaviours, we found that they are more in interested in developing better ways for approaching to the elderly rather than knowing what they are doing. The issue will be looked into for future projects.
