AboutAbout the lab
Always asking: are older people happy?
The Gerontological Nursing Lab studies care centered on older adults, from prevention through end-of-life care, mainly in collaboration with clinical settings.
The lab views older adults as people living their daily lives, and aims to build, through both research and clinical practice, the role of nurses as the core of interprofessional collaboration.
The lab wants to strengthen nurse-to-nurse collaboration and focus on research and education that help build evidence and systems showing the importance of nursing that supports daily life.

In an era that places weight on supportive and preventive medicine, the lab wants to focus on research and education that help build evidence and systems showing the importance of nursing that supports people's daily lives and nursing with a preventive perspective.
*Illustrative imageInterprofessional Interventions for Multimorbidity
To address the complexity of older patients, the lab uses a phenotype model that assesses the patient from a whole-person perspective, and studies the effectiveness of interprofessional intervention methods. It will clarify the role of nurses for older adults who cannot be fully supported by organ-specific or disease-specific medicine alone.
*Illustrative imageIdentifying Problems of Older Care Recipients with Sensing Devices
Toward a smart city concept using ICT, the lab collaborates with engineering departments. Using various sensing devices, it identifies the problems faced by older adults receiving care. This is one of the joint university-industry research projects, and is nursing-engineering collaboration research.
*Illustrative imageAnalysis of Osaka Prefecture Big Data
Together with an interdisciplinary team within Osaka University, the lab analyzes data in which Osaka Prefecture's National Health Insurance, long-term care insurance, and specific health checkup records have been linked. As real-world data, it reveals the state of long-term care and medical care, and how care changes up to the end of life.
