Abstract

We have been researching and developing a Home Healthcare System using communication robot technologies (Communication RT) that supports a worry-free home life for older persons. Through a communication robot system with voice interaction, a graphical user interface and a chair with built-in health data sensing devices, the system determines the user's state of health from the results of blood-pressure, body temperature, weight and information obtained by a medical interview. One of the serious problem is that users cannot continue daily measurement, so we target a Home Healthcare System that motivates and supports older users to maintain their daily routines through communication robot technologies. The experimental prototype and long term in-home experiments are described here.
