We investigated the integrated ubiquitous nursing care program associated with horticultural activity, We identified horticultural activity parameters. Psychological and behavioral scales in activity parameters were tested through actual horticultural activities. We also conducted a series of tests to investigate physiological effect of horticultural activity on nursing "home residents. We used a thermal camera and a regular color CCD camera, The results showed that the thermo-image obtained by the experiment can be used to analyze the physiological effect. The forehead section and mouth section were viewed for a measure of the effect of horticultural activity. The results indicated the behavioral scale and a psychology test called correct Test can be used to provide basic data to formulate ubiquitous nursing system. These results indicated horticultural therapy is effective to reduce stresses of residents when the therapy program is properly designed in accordance with the methods we developed. This paper proposes a system architecture of stress relief program for improving nursing home residents (including dementia patients) quality of life through use of the horticultural activity.
