Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a dialogue system that supports a healthy daily life of the elderly. This dialogue system proposes actions to be taken by the user from various types of supportive information. To respond to the diverse needs of the elderly, this system has various user adaptation functions, including a grasp of the users’ interest through a chat dialogue. As a result, it can be used for long periods as well as continuous health monitoring of the elderly.
