Life Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that bridges medicine, engineering, and informatics to explore technologies that support healthcare and everyday life.
AboutAbout the lab
Creating the next generation of life and society through advanced information engineering.
The Life Engineering Lab conducts research spanning medicine, engineering, and informatics, based on modeling biological systems and applying them in engineering.
Aiming at the social implementation of technology in medical settings and daily life, the lab is building the foundations of life-support technologies that enable easy-to-use, comfortable information support in medical care, nursing care, and everyday settings.
The lab designs and develops software, hardware, and systems that take into account the physical, physiological, and cognitive characteristics of the body, and conducts research in collaboration with experts in medicine and nursing care.
The lab's website also introduces it under the name "Kuroda-Puentes Lab."
Key terms
