Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We propose a concept of care-giving, in which we utilize a video camera to monitor activities of people with dementia in group home. We call our system Mimamori-care system and identify three problems to enable for good care-giving. One of the most important issues concerns the privacy of both care-givers and residents in group home. The second issue concerns the workload of care-givers and the way we remove some of them. The third issue concerns the acquisition of skill for care-givings, which is especially required for care-givers with less experiences, compared with experts. We discuss mainly the issue of privacy based on our interview to the care-givers and the manager's observations.
