In Japan, the number of elderly recipients who take medicines regularly has been increasing due to population aging. Since they sometimes induce the serious accidents caused by incorrect dosing, we propose intelligent medicine case (iMec) for assisting in monitoring. iMec recognizes whether a recipient has picked medicines up from its correct storage space for confirming dosing quantity. iMec also estimates the living state of him/her to confirm dosing timing. It collects the information necessary for living state estimation by using Ubiquitous Sensors and informs the dosing condition to caretakers thought iMec Server. By using iMec, they can check the dosing condition anytime, anywhere. And, they can also receive e-mail immediately when iMec detects the signs of incorrect dosing. We confirmed that iMec was able to detect medicines in the storage space and was able to estimate the present living state related to common dosing timings by experiments.
