We have been researching and developing a Home Health-Care System (H2CS) using Communication Robot Technologies (CRT) that supports a worry-free home life for older persons. Through a communication robot with voice interaction, a Graphical User Interface (GUI) and a chair with built-in health data sensing devices, the system determines the user’s state of health from the results of blood-pressure, body temperature, weight and information obtained by a medical interview. Users and their physicians can study and share this information. One of the system’s most problems is continuous measurement, so we target a H2CS thatmotivates and supports older users tomaintain their daily routines through communication robot technologies. The experimental system and its confirmation experiments are detailed in the sections that follow.
