Abstract
Japan is rapidly becoming an aging society, with the average age of the population rising year by year. In care work, recording and managing the health of the elderly is important, but this is becoming more difficult as the information that must be managed and record increases, and in many cases must be recorded manually. This has increased an enormous burden on caregivers. To automatically recorded the health of the elderly, thus reducing the burden on caregivers, we propose a water intake automatic recording method using sound data collected using a throat microphone. In the proposed method, fluid intake is automatically recognized by using the frequency and amplitude characteristics of swallowing sounds recorded by a throat microphone. By applying this method, we were able to detect fluid intake with 95% accuracy and estimate the mouthful amount of drinking with a 3.33 ml RSME.
日本正迅速进入老龄化社会,人口平均年龄逐年上升。在护理工作中,记录和管理老年人的健康状况很重要,但随着必须管理和记录的信息增加,而且在许多情况下必须手工记录,这变得越来越困难。这给护理人员增加了巨大的负担。为了自动记录老年人的健康状况,从而减轻护理人员的负担,我们提出了一种使用喉部麦克风收集声音数据的饮水自动记录方法。在所提出的方法中,通过使用喉部麦克风记录的吞咽声音的频率和幅度特征来自动识别液体摄入。通过应用该方法,我们能够以95%的准确率检测液体摄入量,并以3.33 ml RSME估计一口饮用量。
