Smart Rubber Sensor and Camera-Based Monitoring Platform
・By placing the Smart Rubber Sensor (pressure sensor) on the bed, posture, body movement, and respiratory status can be detected without restraining the person.
・Furthermore, by using a 3D camera (distance image sensor) in combination, it becomes possible to detect information that cannot be captured by pressure changes on the Smart Rubber Sensor alone (such as movement of body parts outside the sensor sheet).
・Using both sensors together enables accurate and early detection and notification of signs of falls, bed exits, or waking, particularly for individuals requiring care, including those with dementia.
・External communication capabilities allow information on multiple care recipients to be shared with multiple caregivers around the clock.
