Abstract :
This paper describes a health care service system to care disaster survivors. The Tohoku area in Japan was hit by a big earthquake and tsunami. There were many fatalities, with survivors forced into temporary housing. First, health care service management system for them is introduced. In it, primary service consists of mental health, physical health care systems, and body and mental check systems for caring the disaster survivors in temporary housing. Second, two practical systems such as a human behavior detection using 3D infrared camera, and biosignal monitoring by air mat sensor are described. They employed for mental care and locomotive syndrome prediction. Finally, a conclusion and future system are discussed.
