ntttttttttttt

Fujitsu Ltd, Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd and Nagoya University have begun joint research on collecting and visualizing health information. The research uses a wristwatch-style health-monitoring device and system developed by Fujitsu Laboratories to collect, analyze and display data.

This research takes the nocturnal enuresis (known as bedwetting) as a case study. The patients with nocturnal enuresis and their families are asked to record their daily activities and bedwetting incidences in the form of daily diaries, while a wristwatch-style device worn by the patients automatically collects minute-by-minute health-related data including activities, body moisture and environmental data.

The information collected will be stored in and be viewable from the cloud, by which the research aims to make it easier to understand a patient’s daily activities and status, and to facilitate the information sharing between patients and their doctors.

By creating technologies for collecting and visualizing the health information of individual patients, Fujitsu is striving to improve health management and to assist the prevention of illnesses in the future.
