Sugimoto Lab (Human Informatics Engineering Lab)
Machine-translated · View original
A lab studying human information systems that capture biological and behavioral information with wearable sensors.

AboutAbout the lab
Measuring human physiology and behavior with sensors
The Sugimoto Lab studies human information systems and intelligent transport systems (ITS), building on sensing technology, sensor network technology, and medical information and communication technology.
The lab aims to apply its research results within social systems.
Its core topics include medical ICT, human information sensing, wearable sensors, biological information systems, and activity recognition.
The lab covers a broad range, from sensor network technology to recognition algorithms and application systems.
Key terms
- Body area network
- A small network that connects sensors and other devices placed on or around the body to exchange information. Abbreviated as BAN.
- Activity recognition
- Technology that identifies what activity a person is performing from data collected by sensors.
- Medical ICT
- Efforts to collect, transmit, and use information with information and communication technology in medical and health settings.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab studies the measurement of human and environmental information, and the models and systems built on that measurement. Its main topics are wearable sensors, biological information systems, human information sensing, activity recognition, and ITS.
*Illustrative imageMeasuring human information with wearable sensing
Using body area networks (BANs), the lab studies measurement techniques and evaluation methods for obtaining useful biological and behavioral information. Applications span daily life, health, medical care and welfare, and transportation.
*Illustrative imageDiagnosis, prediction, and control based on measurement
Based on measurements of biological and environmental information, the lab builds models of people and environments and personalizes them, and studies systems that can be used in preventive medicine and clinical medicine.
