Abstract
In Japan, the demand for nursing homes is increasing due to the increasing
number of elderly people. Therefore, the burden on care work for nursing
staff becomes very large. In a nursing home staff spend a large amount of
time in making care reports which reduces the time for doing the essential
care for residents (i.e., elderly people). Thus, to reduce the work burden
for staff, the system on which staff can create reports easily and
instantly is needed. In our previous work, to reduce the burden of making
care reports, we have propose a location-based nursing record system,
called ``QuickCareRecord,'' which can automatically switch information
input screen and its items depending on location. However, this work
conducted only a limited evaluation by emulated environment. In this paper,
we actually implement the proposed system by using BLE beacon and small
terminal based on our previous work. To show the effectiveness of the
proposed system, we carry out the experiment in the actual nursing home. As
a result, we show that the proposed system can identify the care location
and care recipient approximately, staff can make care records easily and
accurately.
