In recent years, we have serious concerns about the insufficient medical care basis on super-aging society, depopulation or the lack of medical staff. Then we are aiming to realize the new society where not only aged people but also all the people, who have health or medical concerns, are able to live with peace of mind. To achieve the new society, we are trying to proceed with the development and implementation of Self-Care Technology by high-efficient health or medical coaching followed by the integration of the personal medical data and daily-life data, and the creation of health assessment model utilized by AI. We are also developing a new AIST technology such as a wearable medical device, improved physiological and/or exercise assessment, and a remote coaching as a next goal.

  • Health monitoring at home
  • Development of risk management systems
  • Research and implementation of behavior optimization technologies and services
  • Social implementation of technologies for assessing and improving biological and biomechanical functions
