Abstract(in English) Currently, Japan has entered a super-aging society. We develop a listening service using a spoken dialogue agent as a system to support self-help for the in-home elderly in our research group. However it is impossible to promote self-care for physical and mental illnesses that elderly has not talked about. The purpose of this paper is to encourage more self-care among the elderly. The key idea is to make the agent aware of the need for care by adding health data to the agent's topics of conversation, not just the content of past utterances. As an approach, we link wearable devices with interactive agents. The proposed system is expected to make elderly people aware of their physical and mental discomforts, which they are not aware of themselves, and to promote self-care.
