Abstract(in English) For keeping the elderly healthy, monitoring of daily activities and living environment have been monitored. Simple sensors that are easy to install at hoses were attempted for monitoring especially eating habits. Pyroelectric sensors for detecting human behavior, magnetic switches detecting opening door, touch sensors, temperature sensors, humidity sensors and CO_2 sensors were installed in a room. All data were recorded in a personal computer. In the first study, two young subject participated for continuous monitoring more than one month. Then the fully automatic measurement in the elderly was performed. The outputs from sensors detected the activities related forPreparation of meal and eating clearly.
