“…( 2 ). In this case, we decide that the message from the elderly person might be for the care manager, then we register the destination address and the message contents into the classification model ( 3 ). In this method, the correspondence determination between the messages is the most important issue.…”

“…On account of this current situation, an elderly people watching system has become important. However, most of the existing elderly people watching services are belonging to the service category of a confirmation of elderly people's safety based on oneway communication from elderly people [2], [3], [4]. Therefore, current services are not enough for elderly people who want to have a closer connection with society.…”

We suggest a Social Media Agency Robot that can be used for interactive communication between elderly people and the younger generation via existing Social Media. This robot system has been implemented on a cloud service and a single board computer embedded in a human-type robot, which is equipped with a microphone, camera, speaker, sensors, and network access function, so that elderly people can transmit and receive information by voice via Social Media without using smartphones. We employed LINE which is a proprietary application for instant communications on electronic devices such as smartphones. In LINE, we need to select a message destination address before sending messages. On the other hand, our developed robot is basically operated by voice due to realizing the simple user interface. Therefore, we suggested a message exchange learning-type destination estimation method that enables elderly people not to express a message destination address explicitly. We also designed the Social Media Agency Robot based on the service-oriented architecture that enables us easily to use open innovation such as external cloud-based services. We developed the prototype system including the message exchange learning-type destination estimation method. Then, we did an experiment to evaluate our prototype system at a house for the elderly with the care service and detached houses in the Nagasaki prefecture. We confirmed the effectiveness of the message destination estimation through the real message exchange experiment by the elderly. We also evaluated the usability of the prototype system through the interview with the experiment subject.

“…Training of the system is important, so is the selection of sensor. GPS of a smart phone can be used to find the location of the elderly person when user is out of his/her home [7]. When he/she is in a public building, the GPS would not work.…”

Elderly population in the world is rising fast and the rise is even faster for India due to the continuous rise in life expectancy. Delivery of health services to the elderly Indian population in rural areas, which is about 80% of the total elderly Indians, is a big challenge. An effective solution to the problem lies in developing assistive systems and devices based on modern technologies and designed to support or assist the elderly persons in having healthy, comfortable and dignified life in the society. This paper presents major challenges of elderly people. Some of the major research works already carried out on assistive systems and devices are summarily reviewed. Some further assistive systems/devices are proposed and desirable features for them are suggested. Novel concept of integrating the proposed assistive systems/devices into a single integrated system to serve the elderly users better is presented.
