Abstract
Excreting is one of the most important living activities for the elderly who are in need of nursing care. It is difficult to predict when the elderly will need help of caregivers to go to the lavatory because excreting is a purely physiological requirement. The elderly sometimes needs to wear an adult diaper or set a portable toilet in their living space but they make the elderly uncomfortable and insanitary. To solve these problems, we developed a mobile toilet system equipped with omnidirectional wheel. As for toilet seat, a surface of buttock is placed into immediate contact with a toilet seat during elimination. It will become possible to monitor heath condition of a user by implementing sensors in toilet seat. In this study, we also equipped the mobile toilet with a sensor system.
