  • Abstract
    In dairy life of us, physical health is the most concern. Walking ability is a parameter estimated the physical health. Accurate walking ability is measured and estimated in walking. That is dynamical parameter. But, it is difficult to measure the walking ability objectively. The walking ability is estimated by using walking speed, cadence and step length in walking. This paper shows the system and method to measure them and estimate the walking ability with heart rate (HR) and SpO2. Additionally, advice system to keep the walking ability in dairy life outdoor is shown.
