By adding sensing functions to everyday home appliances and mechanical systems, and utilizing IoT (Internet of Things) technology, we can develop devices that monitor human health conditions. By combining these devices and systems with wearable, non-invasive, and low-cost biometric measurement sensors and medical devices, we can measure biometric data such as life logs and analyze it using AI (artificial intelligence) techniques, enabling support for home healthcare and health management, including disease onset prediction. Additionally, applying these technologies to mechanical systems allows for monitoring operational status and predictive maintenance. We are conducting research and development on AI technologies for home healthcare and health support, IoT technologies, non-invasive biometric measurement, human interface technologies for user-friendly device design, and brain-machine interface technologies, contributing to the advancement and digital transformation (DX) in the field of health sciences.
