Completed Research Program for Health Behavior Modification by Utilizing IoT

Services that facilitate behavior changes utilizing health and medical information are considered to be effective in preventing, managing, and improving lifestyle-related diseases. In order to provide such services continuously and to be accepted by health care professionals widely, it is important to implement R&D programs by establishing scientific evidence regarding the effectiveness, safety, and economic efficiency.

This program aims to create model service that can contribute to preventing, managing, and improving lifestyle-related diseases in the future. We support research that utilizes of health-related information in daily life obtained from technology such as wearable devices to promote behavior changes and to prevent, manage, and improve lifestyle-related diseases. In addition, we promote research that analyzes and utilizes health-related information via the exchange rules in an integrated manner to develop algorithms that can lead to the above benefits.
