要約(英語): Patient transfer during nursing care imposes a heavy burden on long-term caregivers, frequently causing back pain. It is therefore necessary to improve nursing skills in order to reduce the burden on caregivers so as to prevent accidents. In this study, we fabricated capacitive body-pressure and proximity sensors that use conductive texture for detection, in order to evaluate nursing care movements. To investigate the response of the sensor, an experiment was conducted in which a stainless block was brought close to and then placed in contact with a simulated living body. The results show that the sensor can detect the distance to a living body, in addition to the applied pressure. Based on these response characteristics, a sitting experiment was conducted in which 10-channel body-pressure and proximity sensors were installed. The results indicated that the proposed sensor can be used to analyze the seating position of patients in a wheelchair based on the pressure on the seat surface.
