We have developed a sensor module for behavior sensing. The sensor module consists of a microcomputer, a communication module, some sensors and a battery. Data are acquired using the sensors and sent to a smartphone in real time by the communication module. The data collected were 3-axis acceleration, 3-axis angular velocity, 3-axis geomagnetism, 3 pressures, bending, atmospheric pressure, and temperaturehumidity. It was operated for about 42 hours using a 325 mAh battery. Two sensor modules
