Description

In this study, based on the technologies developed by PRESTO research, we develop a wearable, flexible sensor system with immediate alarm function as a wireless and feedback systems when the health condition suddenly changes. In addition to the developments of an integrated multimodal flexible sensor, relationship of correlation between several vital signals detected by the sensor system from skin surface is studied to determine the health conditions. With this correlation analyses from multiple datasets, more accurate feedback output signal can be realized. As the first proof-of-concepts for the future smart city and society, the sensor system is applied to monitor “heat stroke” and “remote health condition monitoring for infection”.

Description

In natural sciences, the data amount and the number of variables are beyond the level that traditional statistics can cope with. The credibility of statements in academic papers is not completely assured and reproducibity is often lost. In this study, we focus on selective inference, a new paradigm in statistics, and develop new and general methods of statistical tests, thereby aim to improve reliability of natural sciences. As a proof-of-concept, we apply our methods to health sciences and cancer sciences.

Studies of CPS platform to raise big-data-driven AI agriculture

Research Director

Masayuki Hirafuji

Project professor, Institute for Sustainable Agro-ecosystem Services, Graduate School of Agricultural and Life Sciences, The University of Tokyo

Collaborators

Yasuhiro Usui

Principal Scientist, Central Region Agricultural Research Center, National Agriculture and Food Research Organization

Description

We will develop a CPS (Cyber Physical System) platform to raise big-data-driven AI agriculture that can adapt rapidly to climate change and diverse consumers' needs. Specifically, we will develop a high-throughput data collection system for plant phenotyping and phytobiome dynamics consisted of plants, microorganisms and environment (= physical system) using AI, and a virtual spatial model of crops (= cyber system) with VR/AR/MR.

Development of Real-time AI Technologies for Event Analysis and Autonomous Operations

Research Director

Yasuko Matsubara

Associate professor, Department of Translational Datability, The Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research, Osaka University

Description

The objective of this project is to develop fundamental technologies for the real-time modeling/forecasting of IoT big data streams, and autonomous operation AI software for the social good. This research project addresses two classes of tasks, namely, (1) development of real-time forecasting technologies for IoT big data streams. Here, we collect a wide variety of IoT big data from various domains, and forecast future social activities and events. The second goal is to (2) develop an autonomous operation AI software for IoT smart services, which makes real-time forecasts and provides instant advice or suggestions to help people make better decisions or optimize their social activities.
