日本的老年人口沿着老年痴呆症的增加，需要长期护理的老年人的数量也在不断增加，因此对护理的需求非常迫切。洗澡是日常生活中最重要的方面之一，提供更好的护理可以提高生活质量。然而，在许多老年人设施中，洗澡充满了危险，例如在大浴缸中摔倒和溺水。浴室地板可能很滑，导致居民摔倒，需要不断保持警惕，这可能会给护理人员带来巨大的精神压力。生物力学的进步沿着护理设备的发展，减轻了护理人员的身体压力。然而，减轻精神负担的努力仍然不够，特别是在照顾老年人或患有痴呆症的人时，他们的行为相当不可预测。通过测量护理人员的眼睛注视和视野，我们相信我们能够在洗澡护理过程中找到盲点。通过使用收集的数据，我们的目标是开发一个系统，以改善洗澡作为一个良好的经验，客户和压力较小的任务，照顾者。虽然通过摄像机进行测量被认为是最佳的，但由于隐私问题，我们使用运动传感器进行了实验。我们进行了四个实验，以实现我们的最终结果集。本文重点介绍其中的第二个实验。
Japan faces a critical need for nursing care as its elderly population continues to grow along with a rise in dementia, the number of elderly people who are bedridden and require extended care. Bathing is one of the most important aspects of daily life in which provision of better quality care can improve quality of life. However, in many elderly facilities, bathing is fraught with dangers, such as falling and drowning in a big bath. Bathroom floors can be slippery and cause residents to fall, and the constant vigilance required can cause caregivers significant mental stress. Advancement in biomechanics along with the development of nursing care devices had reduced the physical stress on the caregivers. However, the efforts to relieve mental burdens are still insufficient, especially when caring with elderly people or those suffering from dementia, whose actions are rather unpredictable. By measuring the caregiver’s eye gaze and field of view, we believe we would be able to locate the blind spots during bathing care. With the use of the data gathered we aim to develop a system to improve bathing as a good experience to the customer and a less stressful task to the caregiver. While measurement by video camera was considered optimal, we conducted the experiment using motion sensors due to privacy concerns. We performed four experiments to progress towards our final result set. This paper focuses on the second of these experiments.
