The ultimate determination of malignancy grade is highly dependent of the findings of pathologists; however, these professionals are in very short supply in Japan. Our goal is to establish a system for assessing tumor malignancy grade, thus supporting their diagnoses. Expectations are high for its use in tumor screening and in obtaining second opinions on final determinations.

Research is being conducted on the mechanism by which the brain controls body motion in a collaborative medical engineering effort with the School of Medicine and the Rehabilitation Center, and research results are being applied to educational activities through archiving using refined and intricate CG animation that incorporates. "Prosthetic hands that move as you think" are currently under development for recovery of functions in cases of dysmotility.

Many ergonomic products will be demonstrated, including a multi-postural workstation, dental chair designed to accommodate women and the elderly, a custom pillow, a high-efficiency low-burden patient transfer lift, and other developmental systems characterized by body and posture conformal design. You can determine your own ideal pillow shape through personalized adjustments.

We select intrinsically important disease-related intracellular signals and search for their inhibitors in soil microorganisms and plants, and design and modify the inhibitors to obtain substances to better meet medical needs. The exhibit will include effective inflammation inhibitors, refractory carcinoma drugs, drugs for diabetes-related regenerative therapy, and new methods for identifying useful substances.

At the Miki Research Laboratory, we are developing cutting-edge nano/micro devices based on microfabrication (MEMS) technology that will contribute to advances in environmental science, IT, and medicine. Our exhibit will include prototypes of a plant water-content sensor for high-level irrigational agriculture, a wearable transmission-type eye-gaze tracking system, and a small portable or embeddable dialysis system.

Our research laboratory has proposed and is conducting research on intervention therapies of atrial fibrillation and other arrhythmia by Photodynamic Therapy (PDT). We will provide a demonstration of a therapeutic device now under development and show a video describing our research efforts.

Our research laboratory has proposed interventional diagnosis and therapy for stenotic vascular lesions. We will exhibit our progress in research on diagnostic and therapeutic technology for atheromatous plaques and a new method of laser irradiation therapy developed at our laboratory.

Our laboratory has succeeded in developing the world's first motion-copying system using a haptic device and digital data storage capable of "anytime, anywhere" reproduction of human motion, and are pursuing its industrial application in experts' skills acquisition and in skills training. We would like you to come to our exhibit and experience this motion-copy technology.

Medical examinations generally include tests for eyesight and hearing, but none for the sense of smell. We have constructed a practical method of olfactory perception testing, based on a system we developed for precision olfactory display using a pulse ejector capable of short-interval odor presentation, and will use it to conduct smooth, easy, accurate measurement of the sense of smell.
