Visualization of Activities-Related Information for Supporting Active Aged Persons

This Recently, however, such sites have served as places for information exchange between aged persons, and a place to enjoy and maintain physical and mental health through recreational activities, classroom lectures and study groups, etc. Often aged persons are unaware of the decline of their bodies, and daily lifestyle management is needed for a full awareness of the linkages between their physical decline and the possibility of accidents and injury. Services that enable "visualization" of activities-related information through the accumulation of daily "life-log" data have recently been attracting attention. Wearable devices are especially appropriate for aged persons, not only because they extract physical information, but also because they have automatic-input functions.
