  • OVERVIEW
    　In recent years, Japan’s aging population has become a serious problem, and there is a need to increase the number of nursing care workers by approximately 60,000 per year. In this study, we focus on care posture in nursing and develop a portable smart device that can monitor various postures in real time to objectively understand one’s own posture and improve one’s posture to prevent future back pain. In the future, we aim to realize a society with zero back pain not only in the medical and nursing care fields, but also in various industries such as restaurants, construction, education, and factories.
