Abstract

Aiming for older adult’s comfortable and independent outing, we are researching and developing the body water management system according to their outing schedule, their surrounding environment, and their activities like eating and drinking. In this paper, we describe our proposed system, the physiological formula for non-invasive estimation of the body water balance and the method of calculating the suggestion timing.
