Our Goal:
FY1 2013\FT2 2014 goal: We focused on the Fundamental Functional and Reliability
Studies for the Materials to be used in Wearable Sensing Devices at our Goal; Organic,
Printed, Bio-, and Nanocarbon Materials, and also focused on Information Science and
Technology applicable to Human Health and Safety by means of Sensing Devices.
We started functionalizing the above International Collaboration Groups R1~R9 for their
purposes by sending young researchers to the counterpart overseas Core Team and
collaboration partners (for 1~3 months), and accepting researchers from overseas.
FY3 2015|FY4 2016 goal: From 2015, Y. Aso (Organic device-materials )and T. Sekitani
(Device Design) joined the CtC-program formally for the development of our flexible
sensing devices. In 2015, we decided to concentrate our direction of sensing device study
especially to g Flexible Bio-Sensing /Brain-Waves-Sensing Devicesh. Inter and intra-Group
Collaborations have been much more expected.
FY5 2017 goal: Proto-type Bio/Brain waves flexible sensing devices will be designed and
fabricated, and will be well functionalized by Big-Data Information Technology.
The Road-Map of our CtC Program aiming at gDeveloping highly functional flexible
sensing devices for health, safety and securityh is shown below.
