Abstract :
The accurate measurement and evaluations of activities of daily living and activities parallel to daily living have been expected in fields of rehabilitation and at-home care and so on. We proposed a monitoring system which measures simultaneously human motion and psychological activity using human limb impedance and palm skin impedance. There are almost conventional systems which measure human motion only. The merits of this system is grasping human condition on both physical side and psychological side
