Professor ARAI, Tsunenori Department of Applied Physics and Physico-informatics |
||
We have proposed the application of photodynamic therapy (PDT) to non-thermal arrhythmia treatment and developed a clinical device. We will present new findings of in vitro and in vivo studies and show you the laser catheter devices under development.

Professor ARAI, Tsunenori Department of Applied Physics and Physico-informatics |
||
We will present to you laser technology that diagnoses blood vessels, extends them without breakage, and welds the holes in them without exogenous material. We have reserved a number of patents and have practical experience. We will demonstrate the operation of the newly developed angioplasty device.

In recent years, metals are used as implants for medical treatment and are placed inside the human body for a long time. To satisfy safety requirements in long-term usage, there have been numerous approaches toward such materials. Here are some of the new surface modification processes developed recently.

![]() |
Professor OKADA, Kenichi Department of Information and Computer Science |
||
The olfactory system can catch the scent of danger such as gas leak. It is therefore important to test to see whether you have olfactory dysfunction or not. We propose a method of testing the olfactory system easily within a short time. A smell test can then be introduced into regular health checks.

Associate Professor USHIBA, Junichi Research Associate KASUGA, Shoko Department of Biosciences and Informatics |
||
We are researching mechanisms of how the brain controls the human body in collaboration with medical faculties and hospitals. We anticipate that we will be able to contribute to the development of rehabilitation devices, or thought-controlled orthoses for the purpose of functional motor recovery from hemiplegia triggered by stroke.
