Abstract :
In the forthcoming aged society, it will be important to realize life support technology conforming to the individual. An experimental house with 117 sensors has been developed to study how to monitor and understand personal behavior in everyday life. The monitoring system and an algorithm to extract the behavior from sensor signals are described and some experimental results are presented.
