   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 Devicesh. 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 securityh is shown below.
