To support a monitoring person to perform a behavior suitable for a health state of a watching object person by presenting appropriate information corresponding to a health state of a watching object person to a monitoring person located away from a watching object person.SOLUTION: A watching support system comprises: an activity amount acquisition device for acquiring an activity amount of an object person; a processing device including a setting processing section for setting a normal range of an activity amount when an object person is resting and also setting a first threshold, a second threshold, and a third threshold, and an abnormality determination processing section for determining that an activity amount of an object person acquired from the activity amount acquisition device is in a state of a first abnormality when the activity amount is equal to or more than the first threshold and also less than the second threshold, determining a second abnormality when the activity amount is equal to or more than the second threshold, determining a third abnormality when the activity amount is equal to or less than the third threshold, and determining a fourth abnormality when the activity amount of an object person cannot be acquired from the activity amount acquisition device; and a notification device for performing notification in different modes in response to kinds of abnormalities determined by the processing device.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1【課題】見守り対象者から離れた位置にいる監視者に対して見守り対象者の健康状態に応じた適切な情報を提示することで、監視者がその状況に適した行動を取るための支援を行う。【解決手段】見守り支援システムは、対象者の活動量を取得可能な活動量取得装置と、対象者の安静時の活動量の正常範囲を設定するとともに第1閾値と第2閾値と第3閾値とを設定可能な設定処理部と、活動量取得装置から取得した対象者の活動量が、第1閾値以上でかつ第2閾値未満である場合に第1異常と判断し、第2閾値以上である場合に第2異常と判断し、第3閾値以下である場合に第3異常であると判断するとともに、活動量取得装置から対象者の活動量の取得が出来ない場合に第4異常であると判断する、異常判断処理部と、を有する処理装置と、処理装置で判断された異常の種類に応じて異なる態様で報知する報知装置と、を備える。【選択図】図1
