Practice and scientific approach of practical society useful for society

This field captures human life from the point of view of quality in life and quality of life that vary in accordance with the social change such as aging, individualization, high-technologization, and globalization. Our aim is to promote the progress of science and contribute to society by integrating knowledge on all academic related to human life by making policy proposals, building social systems and developing new assistive technology.
We cover a wide range of research on assistive technology, from design theory, analysis/ modeling, equipment development, assistive product design to implementation in society. Though collaboration with national projects, user groups, consortium research organizations for aging society and enterprises we subject core research activities in the field of assistive technology.
We also have international research exchange with research institutions deploying Gerontechnology and Assistive technology.
