Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) We have been investigating a sensor network based nursing care support system, E-Nightingale system, that prevents medical accidents by monitoring nursing activities. In our design, the sensor network obtains nursing activity using a wearable computer and environmental sensors, and subsequent systems understand the behaviors of a medical services team. This paper describes the design and implementation of our wearable computer that consist of some wearable sensors and a wearable main unit (WMU). They have been carefully designed considering our case study with nurses on hospitals. Wearable sensors that are worn by a nurse measure nursing activity and transmit the result to WMU by Bluetooth, then the WUM assembles these results and rely to the servers on the sensor network.
